Join us for the 25th Anniversary of Black Bear Film Festival!
Black Bear has been welcoming filmmakers for over two decades to share their stories in the beautiful Delaware River town of Milford in the PA/NY/NJ tri-state area.
Inspired by a heritage of filmmaking in the area, the Board of Director's mission for this nonprofit organization is to promote and celebrate independent film, encouraging artistic expression and discussion. We offer filmmakers the opportunity to speak about their films and interact with audiences during Q&A sessions at the historic Milford Theater and Film Salons hosted at historic locations throughout the town of Milford, such as Grey Towers National Historic site and The Columns Museum.
The festival takes places this year on October 18, 19 & 20 with Opening Night on Friday, film screenings all day Saturday and Sunday.
