Catch of the week: 'Danbury, Connecticut Film Festival need each other'

Similar to the last "catch of the week" that I posted, this headline uses a comma in place if an "and," which makes the headline quite confusing. Since Danbury is a city in Connecticut and the name of the film festival is the Connecticut Film Festival, the headline can be misinterpreted to mean that a film festival in Danbury needs someone or something that the editor failed to include in the headline.

I don't understand why an "and" was once again replaced with a comma when it would only take up three more character spaces and make the headline much more understandable, especially to readers who are unfamiliar with the Connecticut Film Festival, such as myself.
