Charlotte Film Festival

Join us September 23rd – 28th at the newly expanded indie cinema for this year’s festival.

You’ll get to discover bold, original films you won’t find anywhere else, often with the filmmakers right there to talk about their work. The energy is electric: audiences are passionate, screenings feel special, and every conversation could lead to a new idea or connection. Whether you’re in line chatting about what you just saw, attending a Q&A, or bumping into a director at the concession stand, festivals make film feel alive and personal. It’s a celebration of creativity, community, and cinema in its purest form.

Charlotte Film Festival is an independently produced event by the Independent Picture House and an official partner of the Charlotte International Arts Festival.
