September 18-21, 2025

Fayetteville, Arkansas has long been considered a hotspot for all types of artists and makers, and a rapidly growing interest in filmmaking has especially emerged in recent years. Whether the passion be for documentaries, short films, full-length feature films or animation, the annual Fayetteville Film Fest is attracting both filmmakers and movie-lovers to town to be immersed in this ever-evolving, increasingly accessible form of creative expression. Happening in the heart of the city’s bustling downtown at the fabulous Fayetteville Public Library, the festival is set for September 18-21st.

Fayetteville Film Fest exists to advocate for films and filmmakers entering the marketplace, and the year-round work of the organizers culminates in a full schedule of panels and other events designed to complement over 90 movie projects. The lineup offers three non-stop days and evenings of world class films in a setting where creators and supporters co-mingle to talk about and nurture the art.
