GREEN MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS MARCH 2024!

ORCA Media is thrilled to announce the 23rd edition of the Green Mountain Film Festival (GMFF) will return to the Savoy Theatre in Montpelier March 2024.

After three postponements, ORCA Media has inherited GMFF from Focus on Film. ORCA Media is the nonprofit community media center serving Montpelier and Central Vermont - promoting community participation in visual storytelling through local video production, media arts education, and distribution services. “We are thrilled to take over the Green Mountain Film Festival and grateful to be able to keep this community driven festival going after 23 years. We’ve put together a local advisory committee to reimagine the film fest and organize its return for March 2024” said Christopher Wiersema, Co-Director of ORCA Media.

GMFF’s advisory committee is composed of local Vermont filmmakers, festival programmers, and film enthusiasts. “There aren’t many independent cinemas in Vermont,” says committee member and local filmmaker, Sean Temple. “Meaning Vermonters miss the opportunity to see some of the best films of the year in a theater. We are excited to continue GMFF’s mission to bring diverse, international, and important films to audiences in Montpelier.” Sarah Wisner, committee member and local filmmaker, adds, “The Savoy Theatre is where I and many other Vermonters grew up and learned to love cinema. We are passionate about the theatrical exhibition of independent film and can’t wait to collaborate with the Savoy to bring GMFF back to life.”
