The Smith Sound Film Festival is an annual film festival held in George's Brook-Milton, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It held inside the George's Brook Milton Cultural House, a former church and now a town hall for the community.[1] The festival originated in 2017 after wanting to show older works done on celluloid for the public to see, with building of a screen and projector commencing later. The festival is a mix between digital and 16mm finished films.[2] [3] [4]
Each year there is a trophy given out to the audience's best choice award for one film at each festival. The trophy is inspired by the railway that traversed through Random Island and Smith Sound many years ago, made from a film reel mounted on a railway spike tripod.
