The Easthampton Film Festival returns for its third year May 2-5, with independent film screenings at Abandoned Building Brewery, Easthampton Media, and CitySpace in Easthampton. This festival showcases the work of up-and-coming filmmakers from around the world with a particular focus on celebrating local talent and themes. Each screening includes an audience talk-back with attending filmmakers, and some venues include the availability of food and or beverages to enjoy with the films. This year’s short film screenings span several genres, including comedy, thriller, animation, local documentary, horror, and drama. There are also two networking events taking place as part of the program, where audience members and local filmmakers can meet and connect.
