Welcome to the 4th edition of the Made Here Film Festival. MHFF, a festival of films from New England and Québec, is a co–production of VTIFF and Vermont Public, bringing our film community to the world and supporting regional filmmakers. 

We had 127 submissions to the festival this year, all of which were watched by our jury of eight film lovers or creators from the region. The jury selected 41 films of all styles, genres and regions. New this year is the addition of special film industry related panels and workshops. 

Our host sponsor is the Burlington Beer Company, whose beautiful red brick building has roots in another “made here” venture - the original factory built by French cinema pioneers, the Lumière Brothers, who developed their unique Autochrome photographic color plates here between 1901 and 1911. Screenings and panels will be held in BBCO’s new Lumière Hall with its own side entrance, greeting area and bar. 

We are also grateful to other sponsors of the festival - please browse their logos / links in the footer of this website.

Made Here Film Festival does not impose a fixed price ticket - please pay as you can. We have pledged to share a portion of your donations with the filmmakers. All screenings and events take place in the Lumière Hall at BBCO, unless stated otherwise. Please come to the festival, support local and help us spread the word.

Le Made Here Film Festival (chaque année en printemps), est le seul festival compétitif de Nouvelle Angleterre entièrement dédié aux films de cinéastes issus de la Nouvelle Angleterre et de leur voisin, le Québec. Vermont Public sont nos co-producteurs. MHFF est gratuit pour le public, mais les dons sont encouragés en fonction des moyens de chacun, une part des dons étant reversée aux cinéastes. Le festival est situé dans un batiment historique et important dans l’histore du cinéma: Il y a 122 ans, les frères Lumière ont construit une usine pour déveloper l’Autochrome.
