For the Filmmakers of the Future!

Hartford Film Festival

The Hartford Film Festival (HFF) is a student-led film festival based in Connecticut's Capital City. Much like the culturally rich city around it, this festival aims to support and uplift the diverse stories from emerging filmmakers, especially those who are based in New England. 

 

HFF gears itself towards the filmmakers of the future. Accepting all styles and genres of film, our goal is to put the unseen creative works of the breakout film community into the spotlight. We see you! HFF prides itself in providing an opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their work in a supportive and creative environment! We hope to harbor the new generation of films and filmmakers to the wide, enriched audience that deserves to experience them.
