The Westport Arts Center is proud to present the WESTPORT YOUTH FILM FESTIVAL, one of the country's premier venues for young filmmakers to show their work in a professional environment among both peers and film professionals.  One of the few such festivals run by youth as well as for youth, WYFF engages people of all ages interested in film both through the festival itself as well as occasional programs and screenings throughout the year.

Produced by Martin Scorsese and Robert Greenhut and directed by Arne Glimcher, PICASSO AND BRAQUE GO TO THE MOVIES is a cinematic tour through the effects of the technological revolution, specifically the invention of aviation, the creation of cinema and their interdependent influence on artists Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. With narration by Scorsese, and interviews with art scholars and artists including Chuck Close, Julian Schnabel and Eric Fischl, the film looks at the collision between film and art at the turn of the 20th Century and helps us to realize cinema's continuing influence on the art of our time.

This event is free & open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
