Butte Film Festival: The Premier Student Film Festival for Northern California
We are thrilled to announce the return of the Butte Film Festival for its second year! From December 6th through 8th, 2024, the historic Oroville State Theatre in Oroville, CA, will host this exciting event, aiming to be the premier student film festival for all of Northern California.
Last year, the Butte Film Festival began as a student short film festival exclusively for Butte County. The event received overwhelming support from both students and the local community, selling out the El Rey Theatre with an impressive showcase of local talent. Building on this success, we are expanding our reach this year to include student filmmakers from all of Northern California.
The Butte Film Festival is dedicated to celebrating the creativity and passion of student filmmakers. We provide a platform for young artists to share their unique voices and stories with a wider audience. Join us for a weekend of inspiring films, engaging discussions, and networking opportunities with fellow filmmakers and industry professionals.
Submit your short films and be part of a growing tradition that honors the next generation of filmmakers. We look forward to seeing you in Oroville this December!
