SUMMARY:Mystic Film Festival Brings Four Days of Independent Cinema to Mystic and Westerly
DESCRIPTION:Mystic Film Festival Brings Four Days of Independent Cinema to Mystic and Westerly Sept. 24–27\, turning multiple venues on both sides of the Connecticut-Rhode Island line into screening rooms for one of the region’s largest celebrations of independent film. \nAnd the Chamber calendar seriously undersells this one. \nThe 9th Annual Mystic Film Festival includes narrative features\, feature documentaries\, dozens of short films\, three blocks devoted entirely to student filmmakers\, filmmaker conversations\, networking events\, a screenplay competition\, and a closing-night awards ceremony. \nThe official festival site is: Mystic Film Festival 2026 \nThe 2026 festival runs across several venues rather than operating out of a single theater. Mystic Luxury Cinemas in Olde Mistick Village remains the cornerstone venue and hosts opening night\, while screenings and programs expand to La Grua Center in Stonington Borough\, the Mystic & Noank Library\, and The UNITED in Westerly. \nMore Than a Weekend at the Movies\nMystic Film Festival was created by area filmmakers and artists with a deliberate dual mission: give Connecticut and New England filmmakers somewhere to show their work while bringing independent films from around the world to southeastern Connecticut. \nNine years later\, that local festival has developed a surprisingly large footprint. \nThe 2026 official slate contains more than 100 films\, spanning narrative and documentary features\, narrative and documentary shorts\, animation and student work. The feature-documentary program alone includes films about politics\, sports\, Native identity\, aviation\, photography\, speed\, international borders and defectors. \nThis is also a festival where the people who made the films are part of the experience. Filmmaker Q&As\, workshops\, industry events and informal conversations are built around the screenings rather than treating each movie as a standalone theatrical showing. \nThe 2026 Film Schedule\nBecause several screens and venues operate simultaneously\, there isn’t one linear schedule. Audiences build their own festival. \nThe festival’s official individual film pages and venue schedules confirm the following major screening blocks. The festival’s Event Schedule should be checked before attending for the final screen assignment and any last-minute changes. \nThursday\, Sept. 24 — Opening Night\nThe festival opens at Mystic Luxury Cinemas in Olde Mistick Village\, traditionally putting the spotlight on locally produced work and filmmakers from the region. \nOpening night is specifically designed to celebrate films made by local filmmakers before the festival expands into its multi-venue schedule Friday through Sunday. \nFriday\, Sept. 25 — UNITED Theatre\n12–2 p.m. — Crystal Cross\nNarrative Feature \n2:30–4:30 p.m. — The Life We Leave\nFeature Documentary \n5–7 p.m. — Micronations\nFeature Documentary \n7:30–9 p.m. — Transforming the Beautiful Game: The Clyde Best Story\nFeature Documentary \nAll four screen in the UNITED Micro Cinema in Westerly. \nFriday — Mystic & Noank Library\nThe festival also moves into the library for programming Friday. One confirmed screening block runs 12:45–2:45 p.m. and includes Forever Home\, a 20-minute student documentary directed by Kyle Francis Barton about Newhouse Wildlife Rescue in Massachusetts and the work of rehabilitating injured wildlife for eventual release. \nFriday — Mystic Luxury Cinemas\nMultiple short-film programs also run at the festival’s Mystic anchor venue. \nAmong the confirmed Friday programs is a 4–6 p.m. documentary-short block that includes Under the Ice\, director John Martin’s nearly 30-minute documentary about a woman confronting depression and alcoholism through an attempt to swim beneath the ice of a frozen Norwegian lake and pursue a Guinness World Record. \nSaturday\, Sept. 26 — UNITED Theatre\n12–2 p.m. — Tails of the Himalayas…Of Dogs & Devotees + Unspoken Bond\nDocumentary Short + Feature Documentary \n2:30–4:30 p.m. — Art of Destruction\nFeature Documentary \n5–7 p.m. — Nobody Wants to Be Here\, Nobody Wants to Leave\nNarrative Feature \n7:30–9:15 p.m. — Act One\nNarrative Feature \nSaturday — La Grua Center Student Film Showcase\nSaturday brings an entire parallel festival-within-the-festival to Stonington Borough. \nLa Grua Center hosts three blocks of student films\, moderated by Jim Quinn\, with opportunities for audiences to hear from participating filmmakers. \n11 a.m. — Student Shorts Block 1 \nYer Smackin’\nBusker\nWiwa\nRunning On The Edge\nUs And Them\nI Constantly Thank God For Estaban\nThe Magic Words\nPerspico\nHow’d It Go? \n1:30 p.m. — Student Shorts Block 2 \nThe Locked Groove\nNo Small Matter\nClucky’s\nValue\nDental Breakdown\nTrapped Air: Life With No Burp-Zone\nGarden Of Babel\nSeparate Together\nFace Me Face You \n4 p.m. — Student Films Block 3 \nSame Time Tomorrow\nMade Whole\nNight Of Silence\nFalling Behind\nRunning Against The Odds\nBatteries\nThe Last Hug\nCorsano’s Roach \nThe subjects alone demonstrate how broad the student program has become. Running Against the Odds\, for example\, tells the story of Narragansett runner Tarzan Brown\, a two-time Boston Marathon winner who represented the United States at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. \nNo Small Matter comes from a 15-year-old filmmaker and examines a court designed to address homelessness and mental-health issues through treatment and support rather than conventional punishment. \nAnd Trapped Air: Life With No-Burp Syndrome is a five-minute documentary about R-CPD and the patients who live with the inability to burp. \nSaturday — Mystic Luxury Cinemas\nMystic Luxury Cinemas simultaneously hosts additional short-film blocks. \nA confirmed 2–4 p.m. narrative-short program includes My Dog: The Paradox\, an animated short from Matthew Inman\, creator of The Oatmeal and co-creator of Exploding Kittens\, about the joy and inevitable heartbreak of loving a dog. \nThat same block includes The Lord of All Future Space and Time\, a 23-minute mashup of Western revenge story\, science fiction and comedy. \nAnother narrative-short program runs 4–6 p.m.\, including Drowned\, about a single mother with chronic illness confronting medical setbacks and the possibility of losing custody of her child. \nSaturday Night Becomes a Filmmaker Gathering\nAt 6:30 p.m. Saturday\, the movies give way to an Industry Networking Event at La Grua Center. \nThe gathering runs until 9 p.m. and brings filmmakers\, screenwriters and other festival participants together away from the theaters. \nIt’s an important part of what Mystic Film Festival has become. The festival isn’t only trying to find an audience for finished movies. It’s also trying to create relationships among people who may make the next ones. \nThe event requires a separate RSVP for participating filmmakers and screenplay finalists. \nSunday\, Sept. 27 — UNITED Theatre\nThe Westerly screenings continue throughout the festival’s final day. \n12–2 p.m. — In Spite of Ourselves\nNarrative Feature \n2:15–4:15 p.m. — School For Defectors\nFeature Documentary \n2:30–4:30 p.m. — Documentary Shorts Block\nResume of Regrets\nOne Soupy Season\nHow I Survived a Kamikaze Attack\nThe Petal Pusher\nPlant Life \n4:30–6 p.m. — Fat + One Woman One Bra\nNarrative Short + Narrative Feature \nThe 2:30 documentary block screens in the UNITED Main Cinema while the other Sunday programs use the Micro Cinema\, allowing simultaneous programming. \nSunday — Mystic Luxury Cinemas\nAdditional programs continue in Mystic. \nOne confirmed block begins at 11:30 a.m. and includes animation such as Half Baked\, a short comedy about a young adult repeatedly failing to learn how to cook and ordering pizza after every disaster. \nA 4–6 p.m. narrative shorts program includes The Yellow Sponge is the Dish Sponge\, Michele Noble’s comedy about a couple whose disagreements over cleaning and household chores escalate on the day of a party. \nMore Than 100 Films\, From Features to Six-Minute Experiments\nThe size of the slate makes the festival difficult to summarize with a handful of marquee titles. \nAmong the documentary features are Art of Destruction\, Micronations\, Remaining Native\, Fork In The Road\, March Forth\, Nasty\, Public Access\, School For Defectors\, Sculptors of Speed\, Outliers\, People Vs. Politics\, Slowburn Shoot\, Team 28\, The Flight of Jackie Cochran\, The Life We Leave\, They Fight With Cameras\, Transforming the Beautiful Game: The Clyde Best Story and Unspoken Bond. \nNarrative features include A Woman’s Work\, Act One\, Crystal Cross\, In Spite of Ourselves\, Nobody Wants to Be Here\, Nobody Wants to Leave\, One Woman One Bra and Road To L’Etape Du Tour. \nThe shorts program goes considerably deeper\, with dozens of narrative and documentary films running from just a few minutes to nearly feature length. \nThat makes the festival less like going out to see one movie and more like sampling a film world that normally doesn’t make it to a commercial multiplex. \nScreenwriters Get Their Own Competition\nFilms aren’t the only stories competing. \nThe Mystic Film Festival’s Screenplay Competition is now in its sixth year\, providing a route into the festival for writers whose work hasn’t yet become a finished movie. \nThe competition has expanded its categories as the festival has grown\, and the top screenplay winners are announced during festival weekend. \nThat distinction matters. Independent film festivals often become one of the few places where an unproduced writer can enter the same professional conversation as directors and producers with completed films. \nMystic has deliberately made that part of its mission. \nSunday Night Ends With the Awards\nThe four days conclude where they began: Mystic Luxury Cinemas. \nThe Mystic Film Festival Awards Ceremony runs from 6:30 to 9 p.m. Sunday. \nA wine reception is scheduled from 6:30 to 7 p.m.\, followed by the ceremony beginning at 7 p.m. \nAwards recognize standout work across the festival’s categories\, and the winners of the screenplay competition are also announced during the festival. \nBy that point\, audiences will have moved among two states\, several theaters and cultural venues\, features\, documentaries\, shorts and student films. \nThat’s a considerably bigger event than the little Chamber calendar listing suggests. \nFor four days\, Mystic and Westerly effectively become one regional independent-film campus. \nMore information is available at the Event Website link below. \nTo purchase tickets\, click the Event Ticketing link below. \nDetails\nEvent: 9th Annual Mystic Film Festival\nDates: Thursday\, Sept. 24 through Sunday\, Sept. 27\, 2026\nLocations: Mystic and Stonington\, Connecticut\, and Westerly\, Rhode Island\nCornerstone Venue: Mystic Luxury Cinemas\, 27 Coogan Boulevard\, Mystic\nAdditional Venues: The UNITED\, La Grua Center\, Mystic & Noank Library and other festival locations\nProgramming: Narrative features\, documentary features\, narrative and documentary shorts\, animation and student films\nAlso Included: Filmmaker Q&As\, workshops\, networking events\, screenplay competition and awards celebration\nSaturday Student Showcase: La Grua Center\, 11 a.m.\, 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.\nSaturday Industry Networking: La Grua Center\, 6:30–9 p.m.\nSunday Awards: Mystic Luxury Cinemas\, 6:30–9 p.m.; wine reception at 6:30 p.m.\, ceremony at 7 p.m.\nTickets: Individual screening tickets and festival passes are available through the festival’s ticketing system.

SUMMARY:Mystic Film Festival Brings Four Days of Independent Cinema to Mystic and Westerly
DESCRIPTION:Mystic Film Festival Brings Four Days of Independent Cinema to Mystic and Westerly Sept. 24–27\, turning multiple venues on both sides of the Connecticut-Rhode Island line into screening rooms for one of the region’s largest celebrations of independent film. \nAnd the Chamber calendar seriously undersells this one. \nThe 9th Annual Mystic Film Festival includes narrative features\, feature documentaries\, dozens of short films\, three blocks devoted entirely to student filmmakers\, filmmaker conversations\, networking events\, a screenplay competition\, and a closing-night awards ceremony. \nThe official festival site is: Mystic Film Festival 2026 \nThe 2026 festival runs across several venues rather than operating out of a single theater. Mystic Luxury Cinemas in Olde Mistick Village remains the cornerstone venue and hosts opening night\, while screenings and programs expand to La Grua Center in Stonington Borough\, the Mystic & Noank Library\, and The UNITED in Westerly. \nMore Than a Weekend at the Movies\nMystic Film Festival was created by area filmmakers and artists with a deliberate dual mission: give Connecticut and New England filmmakers somewhere to show their work while bringing independent films from around the world to southeastern Connecticut. \nNine years later\, that local festival has developed a surprisingly large footprint. \nThe 2026 official slate contains more than 100 films\, spanning narrative and documentary features\, narrative and documentary shorts\, animation and student work. The feature-documentary program alone includes films about politics\, sports\, Native identity\, aviation\, photography\, speed\, international borders and defectors. \nThis is also a festival where the people who made the films are part of the experience. Filmmaker Q&As\, workshops\, industry events and informal conversations are built around the screenings rather than treating each movie as a standalone theatrical showing. \nThe 2026 Film Schedule\nBecause several screens and venues operate simultaneously\, there isn’t one linear schedule. Audiences build their own festival. \nThe festival’s official individual film pages and venue schedules confirm the following major screening blocks. The festival’s Event Schedule should be checked before attending for the final screen assignment and any last-minute changes. \nThursday\, Sept. 24 — Opening Night\nThe festival opens at Mystic Luxury Cinemas in Olde Mistick Village\, traditionally putting the spotlight on locally produced work and filmmakers from the region. \nOpening night is specifically designed to celebrate films made by local filmmakers before the festival expands into its multi-venue schedule Friday through Sunday. \nFriday\, Sept. 25 — UNITED Theatre\n12–2 p.m. — Crystal Cross\nNarrative Feature \n2:30–4:30 p.m. — The Life We Leave\nFeature Documentary \n5–7 p.m. — Micronations\nFeature Documentary \n7:30–9 p.m. — Transforming the Beautiful Game: The Clyde Best Story\nFeature Documentary \nAll four screen in the UNITED Micro Cinema in Westerly. \nFriday — Mystic & Noank Library\nThe festival also moves into the library for programming Friday.
