Accepting CCFF24 Film Submissions!

Calling all filmmakers and storytellers!

We are now accepting film submissions through Film Freeway for our #CCFF24 Festival. The price of submission increases on December 1, 2023.

The Capital City Film Festival’s mission is to celebrate artists from around the world by curating outstanding multimedia experiences for our community. Our festival is a 10-day party with opportunities to connect with artists from around the world *and* Michigan filmmaking legends at mixers and Q&As throughout. We showcase an eclectic mix of traditional and experimental films, telling stories ranging from the dramatic to the fantastic. Live musical performances, interactive media, and many other art forms are painted throughout our program. Every year, the Capital City Film Festival creates memorable and enriching experiences for our audiences, artists, and volunteers.

The 13th annual CCFF takes place April 10-20, 2024 in several venues across Lansing, Michigan and kicks off with a dynamic Red Carpet Premiere Party. Come be part of the Midwest’s best!

*Oh yea – we’re on that hotlist: “25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World”
