"There is a huge community of arts professionals in Ridgefield – writers, filmmakers, artists – and a very welcoming community of venues that make this the perfect spot for independent films."

— Sophia Cowley, Film Inquiry

"Despite a season full of competing Connecticut film festivals—as well as the heavily publicized Tribeca film gathering in Manhattan—the first Ridgefield Independent Film Festival was a hit last year, with many sold-out screenings.

— Joe Meyers, Sunday Magazine

We have a new creative team and ambitious mission to grow the festival into a true celebration of film

and our community."

 

— Geoffrey Morris, HamletHub

"A fall weekend with new independent movies showing all over town... The Ridgefield Independent Film Festival is an idea we like."

— Macklin K. Reid, Ridgefield Press

"Our goal is to showcase the best that independent cinema has to offer, to celebrate festival filmmakers, and to inspire our audiences. There’s a rich cultural diversity in Ridgefield and I’m excited to now be a part of the ever-evolving

arts community."

 

      — Megan Smith-Harris, HamletHub
