Time to say goodbye. We have loved the 1000+ films we've presented, the filmmakers who created them, the incredible venues, partners & sponsors who opened their doors to us and of course, you, the movie lovers who enthusiastically showed up year after year. We thank you. #NHdocs

“When our only movie theatre closed on opening day of the 2023 edition of the festival,” says Executive Director Gorman Bechard, “we should have known it was a bad sign. And having to stretch ourselves so thin between ten venues last year became an impossible task.”

Though Bechard is leaving the film fest world, Director Katherine and Technical Director Tony are planning something new: Lighthouse Lens Film Festival, which will screen both fiction & doc films. Launching in the Summer of 2025. Details can be found here: LighthouseLensFilmFestival.o…

Bechard, the director of over 20 feature films and author of 5 novels, plans to return to filmmaking and writing, He is working on three feature docs: FACTORY, Best Video the movie, and the Powder Ridge Music Festival documentary. Info can be found at WhatWereWeThinkingFilms.com
