CLOSING NIGHT AWARDS RECEPTION

Saturday, July 28 at 11pm

Always the highlight of the festival! Once again, the festival will host its annual awards reception in Staller’s Art Gallery. Following the East Coast Premiere of Lion’s Gate Films’ LIAM, the festival will bestow both Jury Prizes and the Audience Choice Awards on the feature and short films that our filmgoers helped choose with their ballots. Mingle with filmmakers and special guests while enjoying an elaborate display of coffee and desserts and listening to the sounds of The Stony Brook Jazz Ensemble. An elegant way for us to thank all of our filmmakers, guests and our audience for taking the incredible journey with us.

You may purchase a ticket to the Closing Night Awards reception. The cost is $10 for passholders. Individual party tickets (subject to availability) go on sale to the general public for $15 each beginning July 9.
