Four Days of Foliage and Film in Portsmouth, N.H.
Some of the 6,000 film lovers who attended last year's New Hampshire Film Festival.
Film and New Hampshire? Ah-yup.
The ninth annual New Hampshire Film Festival combines kicking restaurants, peak foliage, and movie stars from Oct. 15-18 in you-already-knew-it-was picturesque Portsmouth, N.H. The lineup includes the Andover- and Boston-area-shot "Don McKay," starring Thomas Haden Church and Elizabeth Shue. For film industry veterans and students looking to network, the fest also offers bargain-priced workshops. All-Weekend ($70) or VIP passes ($100) are also available. Festival-goers can also snatch up one day passes for $15-$30. When the show's over, after parties at various restaurants and bars are where the hubbub begins. This year's closing film, "Food, Inc.," features a discussion with Stonyfield Farm's Gary Hirshberg. Insider's tip: Students who want to volunteer get free passes. Contact deb@nhfilmfestival.com to volunteer.
Ethan Gilsdorf is the author of FANTASY FREAKS AND GAMING GEEKS: An Epic Quest for Reality Among Role Players, Online Gamers, and Other Dwellers of Imaginary Realms" and is presently on a nationwide tour.
