There is a new Film Festival in the New Haven area, which replaces the now-shuttered NHdocs Film Festival. Welcome to the inaugural Lighthouse Lens Film Festival. It runs from June 5 to June 8, all in the New Haven area. Please take a moment to look at the lineup and consider attending an event…or multiple events! A lineup you do not want to miss! There may not be a cinema anymore in New Haven, but we are bringing in the films that will enlighten you and bring forth all the emotions,from laughter to tears, sometimes in the same movie. We hope to see you at the shows.
The LIFF mission is to give independent filmmakers from around the world an opportunity for their voices to be heard and their stories to be told, allowing for diverse storytelling and giving audiences the opportunity to explore current issues while being educated, enlightened, engaged and always, entertained.
We believe film, as an art form, has the power to bridge cultures and illuminate the universality of the human experience, while fostering respect for our common humanity.
One of LIFF's core missions is to select cutting-edge, thought-provoking independent films that reflect the most impactful societal issues of the day. Our mission is driven by our belief in the value of inclusion, diversity and equity and unbridled creativity.
