Renowned Bucks Co. Film Festival Less Than A Month Away

The start of the 9th Annual New Hope Film Festival is less than a month away. The festival, once described by The Huffington Post as "emerging Sundance East," will take place from July 20 through July 29 in New Hope.

During the festival, 80 films and 6 scripts from 12 countries and the U.S. Virgin Islands will be presented. For the first time, locations of production include the Czech Republic and the U.S. Virgin Islands, according to organizers.

Films will be screened at the New Hope Arts Center, 2 Stockton Avenue, New Hope. Filmmakers from around the country and abroad will attend the screenings. There will be opportunities to meet filmmakers at question and answer sessions after the films.

This year's films feature celebrities such as Barbara Bain and Toni Morrison.

"We have a record number of fine films from Bucks County and Eastern Pennsylvania," organizers announced in a press release.

The New Hope Film Festival was founded by D. F. Whipple, an author, screenwriter, and long-time resident of the New Hope area.

Tickets and the official 2018 Program Guide are available at the Festival’s website. The guide includes the schedule, a description of each film and tips about the event.
