A New Haven festival built around local filmmakers, international shorts, documentaries, and conversations about the art of film.

The second annual Lighthouse Lens Film Festival returned to New Haven June 4–7, 2026, with 27 projects from Connecticut and around the world.

Its mission is especially important for Connecticut: create a place where independent filmmakers can screen work, meet audiences, and build a stronger local film culture.

Why it matters for Connecticut production

Every festival, showcase, panel, and creator room is also a place where stories are discovered, relationships are built, and future productions begin. If the event needs a recap, a multicamera record, a live stream, a trailer, interviews, live sound, or a bank of social edits, CT Video Services can bring the complete mobile workflow to the room.
