Peaberry Film Festival believes in these things:
- Every film should screen in-person.
- Every screening should be treated like its own special event.
- If your audience is just other filmmakers, is it really an audience?
- Forget pomp and circumstance, let's party.
With these things in mind, we're open to films of any kind by anybody with the goal of creatively programming films so they not only uplift each other, but also are engaged with by the community.
Here's what ChatGPT has to say:
"The festival is named after the peaberry coffee bean, a rare and prized variety that is said to produce a richer, more flavorful cup of coffee. Just as the peaberry is a unique and special bean, so too are the films that are showcased at this festival."
We show films at the historic Canton Theatre, a gorgeous place that dates back to 1911 when the theatre was a popular scene for silent movies. It's a lovely place to watch your movie in a cute downtown with lots of other fun stuff to do.
Send us your best, we can't wait to see it.
Awards aren't really our thing, but giving out goodie bags to every attending filmmaker is, and we try to spoil you as much as we possibly can.
