WELCOME TO MARFA FILM FESTIVAL

We are planning the most incredible experience this July in Marfa. For 5 magical days we will celebrate women, creation, connection & ALL OF US moving forward. 
Stayed tuned as we reveal our full menagerie of films, art, music, installations and special surprises!

This year the Marfa Film Festival is dedicated to honoring women. While the festival will show films from all genders, MFF is dedicated to creating programming and experiences that further the empowerment of females in creative industries. In light of the current movement, we bring attention to women in film. We honor and celebrate their accomplishments.
