We love films. And we love sandwiches.

Making films is a lot like making sandwiches. And when all the right ingredients come together, the result is delicious.

The Twin Falls SANDWICHES 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, Von Schmidt Brewery, Glanbia Nutritionals, CLIF bar, Chobani, Yellow Brick and the Yellow Brick Cafe.

The TFSFF has awarded over $5000 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, water falls, and the Snake River. Guests enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and took advantage of the outdoor activities available within a short drive.

Come join us for film, fellowship and sandwiches.

    My FilmPoem: MILES TO GO BEFORE AUSTIN AND ME...SLEEP, first screened in Twin Falls, Idaho. I could not have picked a more vibrant town to begin this festival journey. Ray, Katie, and Steve made everyone feel at home in this rare Gem in the Gem state. If you are looking for a festival to launch your film and network with other filmmakers against a backdrop so stunning it makes God smile every morning...SUBMIT NOW!

    This is my favorite festival! Ray, Katie, and Steve are gracious and accommodating, and the venue itself is gorgeous. The film blocks are well-organized, and filmmaker involvement is very high. I had a lot of great conversations and made great connections!

    Twin Falls Sandwiches Film Festival is a top notch fantastic festival. The films are of high quality with perfect technical exhibition. The festival screenings were highly attended with enthusiastic viewers and an opportunity to meet and ask the filmmakers questions. The festival has a laid-back, friendly feeling, with great comedic performances by the festival directors between showing. Very fun, Highly recommended.

    I was unfortunately not able to attend the festival, but the communication was great throughout, Ray was super positive about my film, and they made me feel great from a distance. I would definitely submit here again and next time do all I can to attend, as from all I saw and read it seems to be a wonderful experience for both the filmmakers and the audience, the way a festival should be.

    I instantly fell in love with this festival. From the venue to the town, it was the best time I had at a film festival. I look forward to entering any of my future projects to this festival again and again and again. Ray, Katie, and Steve are the best people to experience cinema with. Their comedy and showmanship alone will make you want to come back for more.
