The Charlotte Film Festival is organized by Indie Film Force, Inc.

General Event Info

The Charlotte Film Festival is committed to bringing to our community the best of independent cinema. Yet, to us, the film screenings are only the beginning of the experience. The enjoyment of independent cinema also includes discussing the work in order to fully grasp its substance. To facilitate that, we host Q&A sessions with the filmmakers after the screenings. At these sessions festival attendees can speak with the filmmaker and gain an
in-depth understanding of each film.

Also, for local artists involved, or thinking of becoming involved in the art and/or business of filmmaking, we offer discussion panels at which film industry professionals answer questions, hot topics are explored, and networking opportunities are born.

To learn more about our history and philosophy, please read "Our Story".
