The North Carolina Family Film Festival is committed to bringing high quality films to Northeastern North Carolina and creating opportunities for filmmakers and film lovers to meet and exchange ideas.
Our unique mix of international films, films from various States of the Union as well as our highlight series for local filmmakers creates an open and fruitful environment for spectators and attending filmmakers alike. In the past we have screened films from the United States, Pakistan, India, Germany, Holland, Italy, Spain, South Africa as well as Northeastern North Carolina.
Our steadily increasing attendance and filmmaker participation has once again earned us the support of the North Carolina Arts Council.
Following input from our filmmakers we will change our format slightly for our 7th edition in 2017.
We are expanding our short film blocks from 3 to 6 and our audience together with our judges will choose the winners for our "Best Off" Awards (see Awards and Prizes for categories).
The 7th edition of the festival will take place Oct. 6th to Oct 9th 2017. As always we will have educational outreach, live screenings and Our "Dinner and a movie" event on Sundays. In addition we will have a Saturday night event where we will present the winners in conjunction with a North Carolina produced feature film at an outdoor screening in Downtown Murfreesboro.
Every selected film will receive the official selection laurels for use in their promotional material. Also every selected filmmaker will receive a complimentary festival pass if they wish to attend.
6 "Best Off" Awards will be selected by our judges in conjunction with the audience.

Best Documentary Short (up to 20min incl. credits)
