Berkshire Film and Media Collaborative to Host Networking Event at Venfort Hall

LENOX — Berkshire Film & Media Collaborative (BFMC) will host a spring networking event on Tuesday, May 13 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the historic Ventfort Hall in Lenox.

BFMC’s networking events bring together filmmakers, editors, technicians, educators, and media professionals from across the region to share ideas, find collaborators, and spark new creative projects.

“This is our first in-person networking event since COVID. We’re excited to gather members of our industry together to see old friends and make new connections,” said Diane Pearlman, executive director of BFMC. “Whether you’re a seasoned filmmaker or just curious about getting involved in this industry, we welcome you to be part of this growing creative community. We’re excited to collaborate with our friends at Ventfort Hall, featured in the Oscar-winning film The Cider House Rules. It’s the perfect location for our event.”

Ventfort Hall is an elegant, artisan-crafted Jacobean Revival mansion built in 1893 for George and Sarah Morgan, JP Morgan’s sister, in Lenox. The estate is on the National Register of Historic Places and is now a house museum. Daily self-guided tours are offered year-round, as well as lectures and teas, exhibits, ghost hunts and tours, children’s programs, and concerts.

Admission to the networking event is free, but space is limited to 100 guests. RSVP is required on Eventbrite by May 12. Click here to register.

Light bites will be served, and a cash bar will be available. Donations are welcome at the door to support BFMC’s educational programming, including its high-school documentary film curriculum, “Your Voice Through Video.”
