More than just a film festival, when asked Why Nashville Film Festival Matters, we can articulate it with seven basic points:
1. ART - Through the art of film, Nashville Film Festival (NaFF) has enriched, enhanced and exposed the city to a rich diversity of viewpoints, thus educating and changing the lives of many in our community.
2. TRADITION & HISTORY - Celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2009, NaFF is nine years older than Sundance, and is the longest-running film festival in the Southeast – it has become a cultural institution.
3. ECONOMIC IMPACT - By providing access to film directors and producers, NaFF links the film industry and the local music industry, a vital component of Nashville’s economy.
4. HUMANITIES - NaFF’s At Risk Youth Program (last year’s short film, conceived by and starring local teens, was directed by Craig Brewer of Hustle & Flow) impacts the under-served in the community through education about, and participation in, the art of filmmaking.
5. PARTNERSHIPS - through its Film Archive Outreach Program, NaFF has developed a fundraising program for local education and arts-based non-profit organizations by making available its archival films.
6. NASHVILLE PRIDE - NaFF draws entertainment industry leaders from all over the world that invariably fall in love with Nashville after they realize how much the city has to offer, and how hospitable, diverse and downright fun it is. For the vast majority of our guests - over 90% - their trip to NaFF is their first time in Nashville, and most likely not their last.
7. THE THREE E’s - Nashville Film Festival has many goals in the coming years, but foremost among them are to always Entertain, Educate and Enlighten through the art of film.
