Welcome to The Nashville Play Film Festival.

We are watching new films, scouting for emerging talents, we are listening to songwriters and we offer our expertise to entertain a new event: the Nashville Play Film Festival.

7 years ago, the Paris Play Film Festival was created. Slowly but surely, the “Play Fest” became home for international artists looking for a real and nice festival to showcase their films.

4,000 submissions later, the Play Fest awarded more than 300 artists and selected close to 1,000 that screened in the City of Love, capital of France.

The Play Fest has grown with its community. In 2021, it celebrated its 25th anniversary edition.

Based on years of experience, and with the objective to expand opportunities and reach new horizons, we started thinking of creating a new branch.

We considered many cities and several towns.

Nashville seemed the perfect fit.

Our name “Play” just matches exactly Music City, and the metro area, growing fast, is a place where audiences enjoy a good time and respect the artists bringing their art souls on stage.

FILMS & MUSIC

The Nashville Play Film Festival welcomes all filmmakers, and all singer songwriters.

From Music Row to Broadway, the movers and shakers are in Nashville, and there’s more to it than meet the eyes: we ambition to flash the spotlight on artists who need it, and to support those early starters who are already working hard to stand out.

There is value in what you create. We know it, and we support it.

ℹ️ Our process is transparent:
- we review the films as they arrive (international team).
- our team is fully booked 3 days before the last deadline to review late submissions, films and scripts.
We do recommend please (^^) to submit the earliest as possible, but we work consistently to deliver on our promise to list our results every 27th-28th-29th each month.

📽️ HISTORY 📽️
The Play Film Festival in Paris is inspired by the new wave of French Cinema. Elegance, creativity, boldness…

The same description applies to Nashville and the artists the city hosted for decades.

The Nashville Play Film Festival will proceed to a high-end selection, with the objective is to mix interactive talent competition with a human scale quality selection.
