Cecil County Independent Film Festival ()

Début du Festival: 15 novembre 2024      Fin du Festival: 17 novembre 2024

The Milburn Stone Theatre at Cecil College is proud to present a film festival for those independently minded.
​
Since 2019 ​The Cecil County Independent Film Festival has presented over 300 films at our festival with films from as far away as China and as close as Rising Sun, Maryland. The Cecil County Film Festival is a three day celebration for filmmakers and film lovers in the greater Cecil county area, We aim to bring new voices and bold choices to the community with selections from this festival, be it in narrative, short form, documentarian and everything in between. The 2024 festival runs November 15th, 16th & 17th.

Please note: we are taking submissions and presenting films from all over the world, not just Cecil county, however we are looking to give local filmmakers in the four state area (Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey) a platform with this festival and will offer those who attend a opportunity to talk about their films at the festival. In addition we are looking to create a series of awards that provide recognition for local filmmakers, as well as prizes awarded for film makers from outside of the area as well.
