About the Mystic Film Festival
Now celebrating its eighth year, the festival will take place October 2nd to October 5th, 2025 at venues in Mystic, Connecticut and Westerly, Rhode Island. Our cornerstone venue is Mystic Luxury Cinemas in Olde Mistick Village. We’ll open with a local premiere and close the festival with an awards event where the best film in each category is recognized.
Our screenplay competition, now in its sixth year, is expanding relationships with key partners in the screenwriting industry and has expanded its categories to include narrative short screenplays and teleplays. The top winners of the 2025 screenplay competition will be announced at the awards ceremony on October 5th, 2025.
