We love films.

The Twin Falls Film Festival was created by filmmakers to celebrate independent filmmaking and showcase unique films.

We have the support of fantastic sponsors that ensure we welcome our guests with open arms and open-face sandwiches. Generous sponsors include the Twin Falls Sandwich Company, Koto Brewing, and our host the Orpheum Theatre.

The TFFF has awarded over $6000 in cash and prizes to filmmakers and screenwriters.

The 2-day event is held at the historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown Twin Falls nestled in the beautiful Magic Valley. Twin Falls is surrounded by majestic mountains, waterfalls, and the Snake River. Guests enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and took advantage of the outdoor activities available within a short drive.

The 2024 resumes as the 8th annual event with a break in 2023. Our board has one thing in common. We love the creativity of independent filmmakers. This year will be the best film festival.

Come join us for films, fellowship and sandwiches.

    This festival was fantastic! Kevin and his really excellent team truly made me feel welcome and valued, and the Q and A sessions with each of the filmmakers (including myself) were an absolute delight. The quality of all the selected films was very high, too! I can't say enough good about the Twin Falls Film Festival!
