INFO

Snowtown Film Festival, a winter celebration of film, is held annually in historic downtown Watertown, NY. Now entering its fifth year, STFF has grown from a humble film-lover’s weekend to a community-wide celebration of filmmaking. Home of the flannel casual red carpet reception, the festival features films that emphasize winter and the “North Country spirit”.  Official selections, a juried short film competition, filmmaker panel discussions and an awards ceremony mark the two-day schedule, culminating in a unique, culturally-enriching event in the depth of lake effect snow season.

Located at 300 Washington Street, directly across from the event venue, Best Western Watertown Fort Drum offers free wireless Internet access, an exercise center and a complimentary full breakfast.
