Portsmouth, cue the trailers. The New Hampshire Film Festival is rolling out more than 100 films across downtown — and opening night is basically this week.

The **24th Annual New Hampshire Film Festival** takes place **Oct. 15–18, 2026**, throughout downtown Portsmouth, according to the festival's official site. The pitch is simple and irresistible: love movies? They've got **over 100** of them.

Organizers even flagged a Trailer Release Party for **Thursday, Oct. 8 at 5 p.m.** — a perfect appetizer before the full weekend of screenings.

Passes and ticket info live at nhfilmfestival.com (info@nhfilmfestival.com; main 603-647-6439, box office 603-436-2400).

Downtown Portsmouth + a long weekend of cinema = your fall plans, sorted. We'll save you an aisle seat.
