SUPPORT US
DONATIONS ACCEPTED!
The Bridgeport Film Fest is the product of a partnership between Groundwork Bridgeport and Artistic Director Jason A. Coombs, an independent filmmaker and professional actor originally from Bridgeport, CT.
For Groundwork, our aim for the Film Fest is to support arts-based community and economic revitalization, bringing people from within and outside of the city out to enjoy films and contribute to a sense of vibrancy that helps with economic development. While Groundwork is known for its interventions in the physical environment, we know that the impact of economic decline on the city has negative social implications including a lack of activities that contribute to an overall positive quality of life. The Film Fest is part of our holistic approach to urban regeneration, reflecting our desire to improve upon the city's social, cultural, and economic conditions by attracting visitors from outside the city while uniting the community in a time of isolation.
