The Fredericksburg Film Festival (FFF) celebrates independent cinema, showcasing films that are creative, daring, and just a bit off the beaten path. In our first year, FFF emerged with one of the best lineups of Virginia film festivals, spotlighting films that were bound by budget but unbound by the formulaic structure of mainstream cinema.
This year, our theme, “It’s not the camera, it’s the eye,” reflects our belief that the true strength of a film lies not in the tools used but in the vision of the filmmaker who dreams it into reality. We are dedicated to celebrating filmmakers who tell bold, authentic stories that challenge conventions and inspire audiences.
FFF 2025 will feature screenings, panels, workshops, and mixers at multiple venues in Downtown Fredericksburg, creating an engaging and collaborative atmosphere for filmmakers and film lovers alike. The festival will highlight talented storytellers from Virginia and beyond, many of whom will be in attendance to share their experiences.
Submissions for FFF are open on FilmFreeway through January 18, 2025, and tickets will be available at fxbgfilmfestival.com after our lineup is announced. For questions, reach out to fredericksburgfilmfestival@gmail.com.
Whether you’re a filmmaker or a film enthusiast, FFF is your opportunity to experience a one-of-a-kind celebration of independent cinema and connect with a creative community.
