film in newport, rhode island

Newport has long been associated with great film. More than two dozen movies have been shot here (High Society 1956, The Great Gatsby 1974, and Steven Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated Amistad, to name a few) and film has long been a part of the very fabric of our arts and cultural scene. Catch a screening under the stars or in a historic art house revival cinema, or tour the locations where some of the most famous movie scenes were shot. Whichever you choose, we've got you covered.
