In addition to the online screenings, for the first time this year, the festival will partner with ITVFest to host an Awards/Festival Screening and an Industry Networking Event on September 26th. Mingle and connect with heads of talent, production executives and representatives from HBO, CBS, Starz, the WGA, the PGA, the Emmys and more. Meet fellow actors, directors, producers, writers and crew from around the globe. Get your passes at www.itvfest.com/passes (Use promo code NEF for 20% off). The Awards event will feature a selection of films from this year’s festival, along with a Jury Awards ceremony for winners in each genre category of the film festival.
This year’s line-up includes films from every New England state, including numerous award-winning films. The festival offers a broad range of styles and subject matter in the selectio, such as a meditation on a life after loss (with music) in What Cheer?; a compelling documentary about a teen runaway girl turned boxer called Liz; a comedic take on life with a crazy cat-loving landlady in One Year Lease; and a tense and violent drama about infidelity in Alatoni.
