MILFORD PA — The Black Bear Film Fest will hold its annual Artful Bear Debut from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, August 15 in front of the Milford Community House, corner of Harford and Broad streets. In addition to unveiling the bear statues created by local artists, a film screening featuring films involving local filmmakers, producers and documentarians will take place August 14 to 16 at The Milford Theatre, 114 E. Catharine St. Each screening will be followed by a Q&A session.

The Artful Bear sculptures are part of an annual fundraiser for the film festival. Each year, local artists transform foam archery bears into colorful works of art, which will be unveiled at the Community House Lawn beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday. This year’s participating artists include Sean Addy, Beau Gostomsky, Annette Haar, Greg Hicho, Tom Holmes, Brett McLain and Janet Rutkowski.

From directors and actors, to writers and producers, each of the selected films includes the work of industry professionals living in Pike County. The screenings begin on Friday at 8 p.m. Saturday begins with a series of Pike County documentaries written and directed by Dennis Lee at 1 p.m., and feature-length films “Rock Story” and “The Hundred-Foot Journey” at 8 p.m. The film fundraiser concludes on Sunday with “Treeless Mountain” at 12 noon, and “Stealing Martin Lane” at 3:30 p.m.

The Artful Bear debut and film screenings are free to attend, but a $10 donation per person to The Black Bear Film Fest is suggested. The 16th annual Black Bear Film Fest will take place October 16, 17 and 18.
