Our Story:

The Rahway International Film Festival, a Big Dreams and Silver Scree

ns production, was founded in June of 2013 in an effort to create a warm and welcoming home for independent filmmakers and fans of film in New Jersey and the surrounding area. First held at the Hamilton Stage for the Performing Arts in Rahway, NJ for the last four years as our namesake, but we will continue to operate as Big Dreams & Silver Screens Film Festival moving forward. Our fifth season has taken us to the neighboring town of Westfield, NJ where we now call The James Ward Mansion home. The move has provided a beautiful space in which we are happy to honor our hard-working filmmakers whom we feel deserve the full red-carpet treatment. Our Mission:

Our mission is to provide an opportunity for artists worldwide to showcase works that educate, and inspire equality, empathy and awareness through film. Our Vision:

We believe that film can reach the mind and soul in ways nothing else can. For this reason, we present films that strive to promote equality, champion the oppressed and promote open-mindedness. In keeping with equality, we seek to present an equal ratio of films created by male and female filmmakers from around the world.

Westfield International Film Festival (formerly Rahway International Film Festival) is a non-profit film festival founded in 2013 located in Westfield, NJ, USA. It is a Big Dreams & Silver Screens Inc. production. Please visit WIFF's website for more info: www.westfieldfilmfest.com Our Story: The Westfield International Film Festival, a Big Dreams and Silver Screens production, was first founded in June of 2013 as the Rahway International Film Festival, as an effort to create a warm and welcoming home for independent filmmakers and fans of film in New Jersey and the surrounding area. First held at the Hamilton Stage for the Performing Arts in Rahway, NJ, we retained the town’s name for our first five years. We are now located in the neighboring town of Westfield, NJ where we call the James Ward Mansion home. The move has provided a beautiful space in which we are happy to honor our hard-working filmmakers whom we feel deserve the full red-carpet treatment. As a product of our newly founded non-profit organization, Big Dreams & Silver Screens Inc., the festival will continue under the name of Westfield International Film Festival.

As we enter our sixth year, we have more than just a name change in store. We are expanding our three-day event to a full four day weekend! This means more films (including both features & shorts), more workshops, more seminars, more filmmaker Q&As, and much more! We will also be back for the second year at the gorgeous and unique venue, The James Ward Mansion in Westfield, NJ!

Our Mission: Our mission is to provide an opportunity for artists worldwide to showcase works that educate, and inspire equality, empathy and awareness through film. Our Vision: We believe that film can reach the mind and soul in ways nothing else can. For this reason, we present films that strive to promote equality, champion the oppressed and promote open-mindedness.

As a women-led film festival in a primarily male-dominated film industry and in keeping with our mission of equality, we seek to present an equal ratio of films created by male and female filmmakers from around the world.
