The Film Lineup of the 2019 New Hampshire Film Festival is Here!

We are pleased to announce that over 100 high-caliber and diverse independent films will be featured at the 2019 New Hampshire Film Festival, taking place October 17-20 in downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Selecting the final films to screen was extremely challenging due to the quality and quantity of films we received. On behalf of the New Hampshire Film Festival Screening Committee and the New Hampshire Film Festival Board of Directors, we want to thank all of the filmmakers who submitted films this year.

The 2019 lineup includes films from national and international filmmakers as well as 51 created by New Hampshire filmmakers.
