The Eudaimonia Project Film Festival celebrates the art of human flourishing. Rooted in the ancient Greek concept of living well and finding meaning, our festival curates films that explore mental health, resilience, community, and the full spectrum of the human experience. Hosted at the historic Pike Studio Cinema in Pikesville, this event is a home for filmmakers, mental health advocates, and anyone who believes in the power of cinema to heal and connect.

Best Feature, Best Short, Best Documentary, Best Student Film, and an Audience Choice Award.
