The Charlotte Film Festival returns for its 17th year from September 23 – 28th, 2025, at The Independent Picture House in Charlotte, North Carolina. This 6-day annual event, themed “Discover Different,” showcases a diverse array of independent films from around the world. Festival-goers can expect to experience a rich tapestry of animated, narrative, documentary, and student shorts and features, as well as special presentations from talented local, regional, national, and international filmmakers, many accompanied by post-screening Q&A sessions with the filmmakers themselves.
The Independent Picture House, a non-profit community cinema, serves as the Festival’s vibrant venue. In 2025, the Festival will benefit from the theater’s recent expansion, which added a fourth auditorium and a pre-function area, enhancing the overall experience for attendees and filmmakers alike.
Tickets and full program details will be available later this summer! For updates and to purchase tickets, visit the official Charlotte Film Festival website at charlottefilmfestival.org/2025
