The Mission of the Downbeach Film Festival is to present a cultural event for residents of and visitors to the communities of Margate, Ventnor and Longport, Atlantic City, Ocean City and beyond.

The festival will promote new films, both of a general theme and a specific theme chosen each year.

The event will also create a forum to exhibit such new films, and honor the art form of moviemaking in panel discussions, honoring filmmakers, screenwriters and actors.
