The 6th annual Mystic Film Festival is back in Stonington, Connecticut! The annual festival was created to support, promote and honor independent Connecticut and New England film makers. The festival runs from October 19, 20, 21, and 22, 2023. According to the Master Class website "An indie film is any feature-length or short film that is made without a major studio or big production company attached. Indie filmmaking is often low-budget, which in the film industry can mean anywhere from a few thousand dollars (“micro-budget”) to a few million."

The 2023 Mystic Film Festival is a 4-day event showcasing independent feature length films, short form films, and documentaries from all over the world. "The festival brings together a diverse group of filmmakers and audiences to explore ideas, discuss the filmmaking process, and celebrate creativity. Through engaging community events, industry panels, and film screenings by acclaimed and up-and-coming talent, we aim to make the festival a special experience for filmmakers and audiences alike. Now celebrating its sixth year, the festival will take place October 19 - 22, 2023 at venues in Mystic, Connecticut and neighboring shoreline towns. Our cornerstone venue is Mystic Luxury Cinemas in Olde Mistick Village. We open with a local premiere and close the festival with an awards event where the best film in each category is recognized."

"Our screenplay competition is now entering its fourth year and has been a great success so far. We're excited to continue to offer this and expand our relationships with key partners in the screenwriting industry. The top winners of the screenplay competition will be announced at the festival in October. Our festival was created by area filmmakers and artists to nurture local talent, to promote films made in Connecticut and New England, and to bring unique films to our community."
