Frequently Asked Questions
You've asked, we've answered! Here's a list of the most common questions about the Big Eddy Film Festival. Feel free to reach out directly for any more information.
With so many great films to share with you, we offer multiple program tracks during the festival. We do our best to schedule across interests yet from time to time, two screenings you are interested in might overlap. You’ll find a limited number of “encore” screenings offered in the schedule. For other situations, we encourage you to attend the screening or event that you won’t be able to experience anywhere else!
While the charm of the Tusten Theatre is found in its historic interior and art-deco style, we realize that includes vintage seats which are, well, vintage. Not to worry – we have a few offerings ranging from seating alternatives and custom seat cushions that will let you focus on exciting films rather than your keister. Our amazing volunteers are here to help take care of you!

Our friends at the Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce have a comprehensive catalogue of recommended lodging in the area.
For those interested in exploring a bit more of the region, the Sullivan Catskills Visitors Association features accommodations throughout the county.
This time of year in the Catskills is unpredictable. Think layers. After sunset, temps drop quickly. If the weather cooperates, we’ll expect highs in the 60’s and lows in the 50’s. It’s a good rule of thumb to remember we are usually 5-10 degrees cooler than NYC.
There is available public parking at each screening venue.
Parking information will accompany each screening confirmation letter. All venues are ADA-compliant and within walking distance of each other.
With tons of exciting programming this year, it’s going to be essential that all films and events start at their scheduled times. That means making sure you have time to get from one screening to the next in time to get your popcorn and a great seat!
The lobby and concessions open 30 minutes before each screening. Seating begins 15 minutes before the show. Thank you for playing your part in making things run smoothly!
