The Director's View Film Festival is the best way for corporations based in the Fairfield/Westchester Region to reach a market of upscale residents interested in quality and culture. The festival, which takes place annually in February, focuses on excellence: the first festival celebrated the work of three-time Oscar winner, Robert Benton, and the 2001 festival awarded the team of Ismail Merchant and James Ivory for their outstanding contribution to filmmaking.
