The WILLIAMSTOWN FILM FESTIVAL (WFF) was launched in 1999 to give film equal weight with the long-established aspects of culture in western Massachusetts - theater, music, art, and dance. The Festival currently screens some 40 not-yet released independent films over two weekends every fall, with young filmmakers in residence engaged in seminars and Q-&-A's and supplemented by such major figures in American cinema as Sigourney Weaver, Alec Baldwin, James Ivory, Campbell Scott, Joanne Woodward, and Paul Newman. WFF's 13th season will run October 21-30, 2011.
