 FOR FILMMAKERS

Why submit your film to the Stony Brook Film Festival?  Because we treat you right.  There is no entry fee!  We screen 35 mm and all forms of beta, including sp and digi-beta.   Your film will be screened in a 1000 seat theater with outstanding attention to projection quality and detail.  We work hard to make sure your film is seen by as many people as possible.  If the house isn't full we haven't served you well!

FOR AUDIENCES

The Stony Brook Film Festival works hard to make sure only films of the highest quality are screened at the festival. You’ll enjoy films screened at convenient times in the evenings and on weekends. The films chosen are challenging--some are fun, others are unusual and quirky, but all have something to say. And where else can you enjoy 10 days of movies for our low film pass price!

SPECIAL GUESTS

The Stony Brook Film Festival has welcomed many special guests since we started.  In 2007 we welcomed actors Christopher Plummer and M. Emmet Walsh, who starred in Michael Schroeder's Man in the Chair. Alan Alda was here in 2006 giving a wonderful talk to over 900 attentive guests.  David Strathairn, James Tolkan and Leelee Sobieski  were on hand for the 2006 opening night film, Terry Green's Heavens Fall.  Other guests have included Steve Buscemi, Campbell Scott, Tilda Swinton, David Arquette, Jena Malone, Tim Blake Nelson, Rod Steiger, Ralph Macchio, Frank Whaley and Mary Stuart Masterson.  Who knows who'll show up this year.

 

SPECIAL EVENTS

During the ten days of the festival, Passholders and other guests are treated to a number of Special Events.  In the past these have included panel discussions with festival filmmakers and celebrities,  Dinner Under the Stars at JASMINE, filmmaker receptions, Q & A sessions with filmmakers and special guests and opening and closing night parties.  Many of these events are open to Passholders only, and some require a separate fee for entry.  Details of the 2008 Festival Special Events will be anounced along with the Festival Calendar, in early July.
