Edmond Town Hall Will Host Brookfield Film Festival

This year's showing of "Shorts & to the Point" will be in Edmond Town Hall in early April.

The fifth year of the Brookfield Film Festival (BFF), "Shorts & to the Point," planned for Friday through Sunday, April 5-7, will see a change in venue, as The Brookfield Theatre for the Arts (TBTA) has a full schedule this year and cannot accommodate the annual festival. 

As there were no other viable venues in Brookfield, this year’s screenings will be in Newtown’s Edmond Town Hall, according to Brookfield Arts Commission Chairman Mary Daniel.

The collection of short films will be shown in four screenings, one on Friday and two on both Saturday and Sunday.
