Identify the author's purpose in this article
Last year's Newburgh Film Festival was the most well attended in its short history. This should
come as no surprise, though as attendance has risen gradually in each of its nine years. This
year for the 10th anniversary, the festival will be moved from the Richmond High School
auditorium to the Hudging Performing Arts Center in downtown Newburgh. The main attraction,
scheduled for the Saturday night of the weekend festival is the premiere of Claude Lee's
documentary Helper Monkey, which will be followed by a Q&A with the director himself
. Tickets
for this event are nearly sold out, but they can be purchased, along with all other festival passes,
at the Hudgins Center box office or at any Qualick Farms grocery store.
