Recently recognized as a "Must-See Event" by THE BOSTON GLOBE, the Collinsville Film Festival (CFF) is an annual film festival devoted to the theatrical exhibition of fiction/non-fiction cinema with a focus of support and development for independent artists.

Stationed in the picturesque Northwest region of Connecticut along the Farmington River, Collinsville was once the birthplace of the world-renowned ax factory & manufacturer of edge tools. The space is now home to antique sellers, studio artists and woodworkers. Recognized as one of the “Top 10 Coolest Small Towns in America,” Collinsville will welcome filmmakers for a three-day celebration of films, music and art.

Established by filmmakers, the CFF welcomes amateur, student, and professional filmmakers with warm hospitality and gorgeous surroundings. Participating filmmakers at CFF enjoy hotel accommodations, discounted tickets for attending cast and crew, discounts at local restaurants, bars and access to all events/parties.
