Description
ABOUT newportFILM: newportFILM was founded in 2010 to nurture discovery and encourage community dialogue through the art of documentary film. More than a festival, newportFILM brings year-round programming that features filmmaker conversations, premiere parties and panel discussions. The program includes "newportFILM YOUTH," an inspiring series that showcases films for ages 2 - 18, "newportFILM GREEN SCREEN," a collection of documentaries that raise awareness on environmental issues, and "newportFILM OUTDOORS," a summer-long sunset series, which brings films out of the traditional theater setting to unique outdoor landscapes.
