The 13th Annual Annapolis
Film Festival

For over a decade, the Annapolis Film Festival has woven itself into the very fabric of our community, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who participate. It's not just a showcase of cinema; it's a powerful catalyst for change, a mirror that reflects our world, and our shared humanity. Over the course of 13 years, this festival has nurtured a sense of belonging, inspiring artists to create, audiences to connect, and storytellers to amplify their voices.

For our town, it's a time when our streets come alive with the magic of cinema, drawing in visitors from near and far. It boosts our local businesses, celebrates our culture, and showcases our beautiful city as a thriving hub of creativity and diversity.  

The Annapolis Film Festival isn't merely about the films on the screen; it's about the conversations in the lobby, the friendships forged in line, and the tears and laughter that resonate through the darkened theaters. It's a place where the art of storytelling transcends boundaries, allowing us to see the world through the eyes of others. It fosters empathy, sparks dialogue, and empowers all of us to make a difference.
