The Smith Sound Film Festival is an annual film festival held in George's Brook-Milton, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. It held inside the George's Brook Milton Cultural House, a former church and now a town hall for the community.[1] The festival originated in 2017 after wanting to show older works done on celluloid for the public to see, with building of a screen and projector commencing later. The festival is a mix between digital and 16mm finished films.[2][3][4]
