In 2011, the Kent Film Festival expanded and relocated to New Milford, and is now called the Litchfield Hills Film Festival. The 2011 Litchfield Hills Film Festival featured 125 films, including 22 documentary films, 14 feature films and 89 short films, which have all been a staple of the festival since its inception 6 years ago. This year’s festival played host to films from over 14 countries and had more than 85 filmmakers in attendance. The Litchfield Hills Film Festival has grown to a year-round cultural arts center that the festival helps to fund and establish. During non-festival weeks, the center presents the best of independent, documentary and world cinema. The festival is in the process of developing an Education Center, which will provide a place where aspiring filmmakers come to learn and develop their own projects. Productions developed here would comprise an important component of the annual Litchfield Hills Film Festival.
