A celebration of art and independent cinema, the Black Bear Film Festival is an annual festival dedicated to promoting independent films and filmmakers and to honor the role Milford played in early American filmmaking colonies.

The event is held every October, and visitors can enjoy the opening night gala and movie, various film workshops, and an opportunity to meet budding and renowned filmmakers and other artists. There are complementing film screenings, special events, and workshops for visitors to attend throughout the year - these events are a great one-off to understanding the atmosphere of the Black Bear Film Festival.
