County Adaptation Film Festival

Discover the art of storytelling transformed at the County Adaptation Film Festival (CAFF) and step into a world where stories leap from the page, the stage, and history itself onto the big screen.

CAFF is a bold celebration of creative transformation—where adaptations take center stage and the journey from inspiration to cinema is honored in all its forms. From literary classics to graphic novels, memoirs to music, CAFF showcases compelling films that reinterpret original works through a cinematic lens. More than just a film festival, CAFF is a conversation—a place where screenwriters, authors, filmmakers, and audiences gather to explore the power of narrative and its endless possibilities.

CAFF mixes ticketed events with free all access public films and activations so the festival can be enjoyed by all!

Free screening of The Princess Bride (rated PG) on September 26th at 11 AM in the laneway between The Regent and Picton Library. Bring your own chair.

Whether you’re a cinephile, a creator, or a curious explorer of stories, CAFF invites you to discover the magic of adaptation in a setting as unique as the films themselves. Join us this fall to celebrate the stories that shape us—and the films that reimagine them.

September 25th-27th, 2026 (various times) at The Regent Theatre, 224 Main Street, Picton. Learn more here.
