The second annual international FILM FEST KNOX will be held in Knoxville! Festival passes are $100 per person and will be available for purchase online at www.filmfestknox.com. VIP festival passes will also go on sale, for $250 per person. Additional programming and ticketing options will be announced closer to the festival.

Full festival passholders will be able to attend the entirety of the festival with the exception of the VIP Party. VIP passholders will be able to attend the entirety of the festival, including the VIP Party. This includes narrative and documentary short and feature film screenings in various blocks (including the American Regional Film Competition and the Made in Tennessee Competition), the Live Pitch on Thursday evening, all films in the Elev8or Pitch Screening, and all panels with industry professionals. FILM FEST KNOX is a producer-centric festival, acknowledging the invaluable contributions of film's creative producers, often overlooked yet vital to the success of a project. Passholders will experience an intimate festival environment with guest filmmakers in attendance.

The highly anticipated American Regional Film Competition is a major highlight of the festival hosted in collaboration with Regal. This unique showcase sheds light on exceptional works produced outside the traditional production centers of Los Angeles and New York. The winner of this competition will be awarded an Oscar-qualifying run by Regal. In addition to the American Regional Cinema Competition, FILM FEST KNOX will feature a Made in Tennessee Competition for shorts and feature films produced in the Volunteer State.

Another major component of the festival is the Elev8or Pitch, a pitch competition to provide further opportunities to filmmakers in East Tennessee and beyond. The Visit Knoxville Film Office hosted the Elev8or Pitch Kick Off Party at Scruffy City Hall on July 25, where teams in attendance learned rules and regulations for this competition. Teams have until October 17 to produce an 8-minute proof-of-concept short film along with a 1-minute elevator pitch to illustrate their vision for a full-length feature film. The top eight teams will be able to pitch live in front of a panel of industry judges and audience on the opening night of the festival, Thursday, November 14.

More details on FILM FEST KNOX will be provided throughout 2024 at FILMFESTKNOX.com.
