The 10th Annual Tupelo Film Festival (TFF) offers all the Southern charm and hospitality that you’d expect to find in the birthplace of Elvis Presley. Jam-packed with great films, savory meals, fun-filled parties, and networking opportunities galore, TFF instantly feels like a home away from home, even if you’re from halfway around the world. In addition to an extraordinary festival experience, participating filmmakers will enjoy discounted hotel room rates and complimentary local transportation.

TFF warmly welcomes independent filmmakers working in all genres and styles, offering a broad range of competitive categories including narrative, documentary, animated, and student works, as well as short films and music videos. Cash prizes and awards are valued at $6,500 USD total, including the Ron Tibbett Award for Best in Show and the Elvin Whitesides Directors Award. For many participants, though, taking part in this filmmaker-focused festival is reward enough. If live blues music, homestyle Southern cuisine, scintillating educational panels, stellar independent films, and countless new friendships sound like a recipe for a good time, the Tupelo Film Festival is for you.
