The Nashville Film Festival (NashFilm) celebrates innovation, music and the many voices of the human spirit through the art of film. Throughout the year, NashFilm delivers unique programs to engage, connect and strengthen Nashville’s film and music community: Independent Film Screenings, Movies in the Park, Education Screening Program, Summer Film Camp for Teens, the Living Reel Project and more.
Some of our year-round programs include:
Public Events: In addition to the annual festival each September, NashFilm presents public events year-round to connect creatives and bring independent film to the local community. Often in partnership with other community organizations, year-round events include outdoor movies, film screenings and Q&As, networking events, panels, and more.
Education Screening Program: Provides Metro Nashville Public School students with the opportunity to see independent films and engage in discussions with the filmmakers at no cost to the schools, teachers, or students. NashFilm’s Education Screening Program was designed with the goal of fostering media literacy, greater cultural understanding, and increased access to the arts among local middle and high school students.
Summer Film Camp for Teens: Each summer in partnership with the Frist Art Museum, our Summer Film Camp gives teens hands-on filmmaking experience where they work in teams to create a short film from concept to completion in just one week!
Living Reel Project: Nashville Film Festival partners with Youth Villages and music publisher Moraine Music Group on the Living Reel Project to provide at-risk and under-served teens in the Nashville community with hands-on music and filmmaking experience.
