BENTONVILLE FILM FESTIVAL 2024
A DECADE OF CINEMATIC EXCELLENCE: BFF 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY JUNE 10 – 16, 2024
We celebrated a decade of extraordinary storytelling, breathtaking visuals and unforgettable moments in cinema. Our 10 year anniversary was a tribute to the screen and the incredible journey we’ve embarked upon over the past 10 years. BFF remains passionate about championing independent voices, nurturing and connecting diverse artists, as well as spotlighting work that can challenge us but also entertain and move us. We continue to reflect on the history of this great festival and appreciate the work and dedication from our partners to help shape a vision for the future that embraces audiences from all walks of life. Our BFF audiences, moviegoers, industry, press, curators, journalists, partners, volunteers, other artists, and our alumni shared memorable moments in Bentonville. We are truly honored to have the support of our community and sponsors, and we sincerely hope that you will continue to be a part of our mission in the future.
