Founded in 2026 by local filmmaker John Tedeschi, the Stockbridge Film Festival was born out of a desire to create a dedicated platform for cinematic voices that challenge the status quo, spark vital conversations, and inspire community connection.

We believe that cinema is more than passive entertainment, and by bringing filmmakers and audiences together for live screenings, Q&A sessions, and creative networking mixers and awards programs, we strive to enrich the vibrant cultural landscape of Stockbridge and support the growing artistic economy regionally and beyond.
