About the Big Eddy Film Festival
Since 2012, the Big Eddy Film Festival has been advancing the traditional art of storytelling by screening the newest and best independent films from around the world and our own backyard. Produced by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance, the annual event draws filmmakers and film lovers to a picturesque Catskill Mountains setting with a unique creative upstate energy.

Each year the BEFF features approximately 30 fiction and non-fiction films, hosts visiting filmmakers, and offers a variety of exciting events. In addition to screenings, the festival hosts panels, workshops, and brunches where filmmakers can share ideas and audiences can glimpse into the creative process behind the films.

The activities of the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance are made possible in part by a grant from the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.
