Easthampton Film Festival

07/16/2026

At 7pm on Saturday, July 25th at Abandoned Building Brewery we’ll be hosting a showcase screening of selected short comedies by local filmmakers. The presentation will run about 1 hour and will be followed by a talkback with attending filmmakers. After that we’ll hang out, network, and be social until ABB closes at 10pm. The program will include the following MA-made shorts:

"Join the Club" by Melissa Dimetres (Easthampton)
"The Journey Home" by Cole Whitaker (Colrain)
"'98 Honda" by Christian Banda (Springfield)
"The Trip" by Ayla Hadimi Ladha & Sarah Feldman (Northampton)
"The Doer" by Richard Williams (Lowell)

This event will be free and open to the public, but seating is limited. ABB allows you to bring drinks over from the adjacent bar, and outside food is welcome, too (including from Vegan Pizza Land, which is literally right outside).

Just Announced: a special summer screening!

Its been a while! We thought it would be a good idea to combine our usual filmmaker meetup, with a screening of some shorts.
Some you may have seen at previous EFF events. Some you may have seen because they are local filmmakers.
This event has no entry fee, thanks to the folks at ABB, for lending us their space. We are forever grateful for their support.

Two out of the five pillars of any Film Fest.
The Audience & The Venues.

Oh, how they worked so cohesively together this year! We are lucky to have you both. With out you, we could not run.

The Audience members who support those filmmakers. Who come out, sit in the seats... listen/watch. 

The Venues. Every gathering needs a home.We dont take for granted what Cityspace, Marigold, THCC, E-Media, Visions Video and Smith have offered us. Not only their space, but also the humans behind those spaces.

There are hundreds of people for us to thank, who contribute to everything we are. 

The Filmmakers are the obvious ones to start with.
Thank you to all of the creators who take the leap, and commit to the endeavor of creating.

Any Film Fest begins with the courage of the Filmmaker. It continues with the willpower and hard work of they instill in their team.

Thank you to the filmmakers. Some who've submitted their work for the first time. May you continue to create!
