ReadingFilmFEST

Welcomes filmmakers from the Mid-Atlantic region and around the world! Last year’s visiting filmmakers gave us rave reviews for film quality, hospitality and locations! Whether or not you have a film for our festival, we encourage you to hang out in Reading and see what all the fuss is about!

We’re a small city. We get struggle. We appreciate the big efforts made by small filmmakers.

Submissions will open FEBRUARY 1. 2023 for the 2023 Festival!
