Twin Cities Film Fest

The mission of the Twin Cities Film Fest is to showcase exceptional independent films and independent artists. We promote industry talent, provide educational, networking and distribution opportunities that can expand careers and support thought provoking content. Our program showcases and premieres well over 120 films each year with over 80 filmmakers from around the country visiting or participating with their films. The filmmakers part-take in a discussion with the audiences after their screenings as well as invited to speak in an industry panel discussion that is complimentary for the community to attend.

Each year, tcff picks a specific cause during our changemaker initiative. From education, poverty, hunger prevention, bullying and sex trafficking, homeless youth and veteran support, tcff has been on the forefront of highlighting social causes via specialty programming. Showcasing documentaries on the selected cause, holding panel discussions as well as giving the annual changemaker award to a deserving community leader, tcff is truly giving back to the community and putting the focus on great work being done locally in the cause space.

With year round programming and special events throughout the year, tcff is the perfect platform for independent filmmakers. Our monthly insider series showcases independent films from across the region as well as Minnesota, while spotlighting phenomenal independent artists. Our goal is to give a national voice to local artists through these initiatives. With grant support from the Minnesota state arts board and financial support from private donors and sponsors, weve been able to expand programming throughout the year.
