Celebrate the art of storytelling at the 2nd Annual Highlands-Cashiers Film Festival! Born from a shared love of film, creativity and community, this annual festival brings together filmmakers, media artists and audiences from around the world for an engaging, in-person experience that sparks conversation and connection through powerful storytelling.
Weekend highlights include a "Black & White Masquerade," competition feature films submitted from around the world, and a special talk with Wesley Wofford and Clara Stack.
Also, enjoy four incredible summer screenings leading up to the festival! Each event showcases a different film and includes a Q&A with the director!
The festival is supported by volunteers and benefits the Performing Arts Center.
