Film Festival

Monday, September 19 - Wednesday, September 21 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Join us for the first annual Legacy Theatre Film Festival in the quaint village of Stony Creek in Branford, CT. This beautifully restored historic theatre, which was one of the first silent picture houses in New England, was once home to Orson Welles and his Mercury Players. It has since undergone a state-of-the-art 5 million dollar renovation and has opened to produce live theatre in its inaugural year as Legacy Theatre in 2021. The First Annual Legacy Theatre Film Festival will have a panel of esteemed judges and a $500 cash award for the overall Festival winner, along with trophies for several categories. Chosen nominees will have screenings of their films at the Legacy Theatre Film Festival, which lasts three days: Mon, Sep 19, Tues, Sep 20, and Wed Sep 21; award ceremony is Wednesday, Sep 21 at 7pm. Patrons may come and go as they please with one-day passes to enjoy premiers of films and panels of experts.
