Planning for the 7th Annual Asheville Film Festival is in the final stages!

The films are in, prescreening and selection are in their final stages, and we’re looking forward to another weekend of great films at this year’s event!

Independent films from across the world will compete for awards and recognition in this year’s event. The winning filmmaker in each category – Feature Fiction, Short Fiction, Documentary, Student and Animation – will receive $500.

We’re also pleased to announce the return of the screenplay competition! Up-and-coming writers across the country are competing for a chance to win $500.

Tickets go on sale mid-October! Don’t miss it!
