Charlotte Film Festival will take place September 21 - 26, 2027, exclusively at the Independent Picture House
Submissions open November 1, 2026
Submit your film.
Submitting your film to a festival is one of the best things you can do for your work. It gets your film in front of an audience that genuinely wants to be there, opens doors to conversations you wouldn’t have otherwise, and gives you the chance to see your work the way it was meant to be seen. In a dark room, on a big screen, with people who care about cinema.
We watch every submission carefully. If you made something you believe in, we want to see it. The 2027 Charlotte Film Festival runs September 21 – 26, 2027.
