Lighthouse Lens brings 27 short films and documentaries back to New Haven

The festival highlighted films connected to Connecticut, including a fictionalized account of the Donna Lee Bakery murders, a UConn superfan documentary, and a student film about the former mill town of Baltic.

Programming spread across venues including East Haven Public Television and The Cannon, creating a multi-location festival footprint for New Haven audiences.

Lighthouse Lens grew out of the community that formed around the former New Haven Documentary Film Festival and continues the work of supporting local filmmakers.
