As seasoned goers of the Chattanooga Film Festival, we reely can’t wait for its return to The Read House on Friday, June 21 through Sunday, June 23.
To help you get prepared, we’re dropping important info and recommendations to navigate this in-person and virtual film festival.
Before you go
Plan out your days by checking the daily schedule online + checking out what the virtual version of the festival has to offer, from screenings and readings to Q+As and parties around town. Note: Virtual viewing is open from Friday, June 21 through Friday, June 28.
Pro tip: You can learn about each short + feature film (run time, synopsis, language, genre, etc.) by looking at the film guide.
Tickets can be purchased in a few ways:
- Individual tickets for screenings are $15 — can be purchased when clicking “select a showing” on each film.
- Hybrid (full access) + virtual badges begin at $200.

What we loved last year
Editor Haley here. My top two favorites were hearing horror author Grady Hendrix do a panel on “How to Sell a Haunted House” (and getting my copy signed) + seeing the short thriller “Splinter” and staying for the Q+A. Pro tip: Hang around the downstairs bar — you might be able to talk to a director or cast member. Check out the highlight reel.
