Love Movies? Carter's Biz Cafés Host Second Annual North Bay Art & Film Festival Oct. 6-8, 2017 - Full Schedule
BENICIA, Calif., October 2, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Carter’s Biz Café is the proud host of the Second Annual North Bay Art & Film Festival (NBAFF), an annual three-day event showcasing independent films and select artists from Northern California and countries around the globe. The event was created by independent filmmakers with the sole purpose to showcase and screen new and upcoming talent.
The Festival will be held in the artistic waterfront town of Benicia, California in the historical Arsenal district, where there is a campus comprised of two former military venues. The first venue is the Commanding Officer’s Quarters, now home to Carter’s Biz Cafes, a cutting-edge, co-working and business development center. The second venue is the Clock Tower Building, a former armory site. These locations are just a one-minute walk from each other and with enough free parking for well over three hundred cars.
Here is the full schedule for the three-day event, or go to https://northbayartfilmfest.com/festival-schedule for the entire online schedule of this year’s film festival screening times featuring many more first-time filmmakers and opening night activities. All film screenings will take place at the Clock Tower Building, 1189 Washington Street, Benicia in the historic Arsenal District.
