The 2010 festival schedule includes four days of screenings, workshops, and celebratory events, with tickets on sale now and available at several levels of access, from per-screening selection, to the full-immersion festival experience.
The quality of the films submitted each year is phenomenal. Deciding which films to eliminate is a painstaking process. Now that it’s completed we are extremely excited about this year’s selections.

Among the impressive list of nominated films this year are Earthworks, a feature that tells the story of real-life Stan Herd’s journey to create a massive environmental artwork; Baghdad Diaries, a documentary on the Iraq war and its aftermath told from the unique perspective of an Iraqi man and an American journalist; Mow Crew, an impressive feature about a young Martha’s Vineyard landscaper by first time director Taylor Toole; Funny Business, this documentary film explores artists published in the New Yorker Magazine some of the most celebrated cartoonists to date; and Mezzanotte Obsura, an inside look into an artist’s all consuming passion and creative process as he meticulously constructs an innovative body of work.

This year as always we will have impressive workshops including The Documentary Process, held by Joseph and Sandra Consentino, whose film Baghdad Diaries, is in the line-up this year.
There will be Q & A’s in abundance and we are putting together an Actor/Director panel for Saturday at the Town Hall which promises to be exciting.

We will be hosting a number of receptions that are open only to passholders including Opening Night Soiree which will be held at Kent Art Association, there will also be a Friday night gathering. On  Saturday we will host an Awards Celebration which will be held at the Morrison Gallery this year.  Lastly, there will be “After Parties” held at Doc’s Trattoria, where all festival attendees can mingle with the filmmakers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

NEWS
CompanyRetreat
Our advisory board member Campbell Scott
has generously offered his latest film
Company Retreat for a private benefit
screening to support the Kent Film Festival.

Bruce Hodges (Matt Malloy) and Lonnie Repp (Hart Bochner) pitch a new reality show called Company Retreat - a kind of Survivor meets The Apprentice - and head of to the mountains with 20 contestants and a small crew after getting an underfunded green light from The People Channel. Bruce hires another crew to document the behind the scenes action, but as the show begins to fall apart, both contestants and creatives find themselves in the middle of a different kind of odyssey altogether.

Details to be announced very shortly!
