Desoto Film Festival

Having experienced film festivals all across the country with our own films, we’ve seen so many films that we truly never cared to see. You never know what you and your family are going to be subjected to. This film festival is challenging filmmakers to set aside political agendas (or learn to creatively bury them in your film) and avoid shock value for the sake of shock value. We are challenging filmmakers to bring creativity and beauty to their art of filmmaking and story-telling. Brought to you by Desoto Arts Institute and located in Southaven, Mississippi, the Desoto Film Festival is designed to bring thoughtful entertainment to families and individuals in the Mid-South as well as give exposure to filmmakers desiring to reach the widest audience of viewers – the entire family. DFF is open to anyone, anywhere around the world and we encourage people to go out, be creative and produce great films. DFF exists to make great films accessible to the widest audience possible.
