It began as a trading post. By the 1940s, New Hopes name in the arts became legendary, for many writers of plays, directors and actors travelled through its busy streets. This tradition continues today. Hollywood and New York-based producers steal away to the communitys varied streets on weekends and holidays.In response to this cultural environment, businessman and writer DF. Whipple, decided to set up the New Hope film festival and became active on January 1, 2009. Whipple formed a group of artists who shared his love for discovering and encouraging independent filmmakers, many of whom will make world and U.S. first-shows at our festival.The festivals directors welcome you to our site and we hope youll join us at the exhibition.Tickets: Advance tickets go on sale on June 15 and tickets will be got at the venues(场地) for any shows.
