Welcome to the 6th Annual Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival! The world has changed dramatically since our last gathering on the streets and in our screening venues in Middlebury. The challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic have made it impossible for us to bring you our customary on-the-ground Fest in beautiful Middlebury and we will sorely miss seeing all of you, our extended family. Yet, the show must go on, particularly in the face of adversity. So we have created MNFF6: ONLINE, a virtual event that we hope will capture the vibrant independent spirit that MNFF has come to represent for our filmmakers and our audiences alike. The Festival will take place on your mobile phone, your tablet, your laptop and your big screen television from August 27-September 3. It will be available to you 24/7 during those eight days. Whether you want to catch a film in the morning as a sunrise treat, in the early afternoon as a lunch companion, in the late afternoon as a dinner appetizer or in the evening as a tasty way to end your day, we will be here for you. With two dozen feature films and six collections of short films to choose from, MNFF6: ONLINE provides you with a mix of outstanding documentaries and dramas that will entertain and, in many cases, change the conversation about the subjects our courageous and talented filmmakers tackle. We hope you enjoy this innovative version of the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival!
