Twin Cities Film Fest

The Twin Cities Film Fest (TCFF) is a "hybrid" festival with both online and in-person theater screenings. TCFF is one of the country’s premiere celebrations of independent cinema, serving as both a regional showcase for the year's most accomplished independent films and a prominent stage that puts Midwestern art and artists in the spotlight. Beyond its core October event, TCFF operates as a year-round visual arts education organization, promoting industry talent while providing educational, networking and distribution opportunities that can expand careers and support thought provoking content. With roots tracing back to 2005, the Twin Cities Film Fest boasts an impressive track record of recruiting, celebrating and showcasing brilliant works of visual art — and then building a supportive network to aid artists in their next creation. In addition to hosting premiere screenings during the festival, TCFF is is known for its socially-conscious sidebar, which spotlights one theme each year, as well as its educational events, professional networking opportunities and its in-depth post-screening Q&As. Apart from its core October event, TCFF also organizes year-round premiere screenings, training sessions, networking expos, filmmaker mixers and script readings. Other festivals housed under the TCFF umbrella include Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival and, Twin Cities OutFest.
