Glimmerglass Film Days, November 13-17, offers you a long weekend of exceptional films, engaging conversations, filmmaker talks, delicious local food and drink, guided walks, book tie-ins, and a companion art exhibit. Between the films, enjoy Cooperstown’s Main Street, museums, and the region’s natural beauty.
This year, reflecting the turbulent times we are living in, Film Days is an invitation to explore how we might shift the narrative, shape the future, and enact positive change. The 2025 theme is "revolutions," a word that evokes political and social upheaval and turning aside from established ways, but also the constancy of celestial movements and the cycles of nature.
You'll hear stories from activists and innovators engaged in constructive change and from communities that have joined together to push back or push forward in an ever-changing world. Full schedule will be announced in October.
Sign up for our email list and follow us on Instagram and Facebook and support the continued success of Film Days by becoming a donor or business sponsor.
Glimmerglass Film Days, a program of Otsego 2000, brings a curated slate of compelling independent films to Cooperstown each November. Join us for insightful films, filmmaker talks, art, books, parties, and great conversations.
