The Chattanooga Film Festival (CFF) is an annual film festival that takes place in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
History
The Chattanooga Film Festival originated in February 2009 as a film club in Chattanooga, Tennessee known as Mise En Scenesters.[2] The organizers of the club launched a Halloween event known as the Frightening Ass Film Festival, which led to the creation of the Chattanooga Film Festival.[2] The 1st annual Chattanooga Film Festival took place in 2014.[3]
In a joint initiative with the Canadian company Media Darling, the Chattanooga Film Festival founded the Good Film Fund as a means of supporting the production and promotion of films.[4]
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,[5] the 7th Chattanooga Film Festival took place online as a virtual event from May 22 to May 25, 2020.[6][7]
