CHAMPIONING INCLUSION
IN ALL FORMS OF MEDIA
ABOUT US
The Bentonville Film Festival Foundation is a non-profit organization focused on promoting underrepresented voices of diverse storytellers. We want to amplify female, LGBTQ+, people of color, and people with disabilities in entertainment and media. We do this through research, education, and supporting the production and distribution of inclusive content.
EVENTS
Movie Mondays
BFF Foundation and Visit Bentonville, with a monthly sponsor, support a screening at Skylight Cinema on the third Monday of each month. Each screening brings back BFF Alumni to showcase their film and engage with community members in a Q&A and reception. Ticket prices are $10.
5:00 pm Reception and 5:45 pm screening
Due to the concern of COVID-19, we are suspending Movie Mondays until April. Thank you for your understanding.
HEADLINES
Virtual Movie Monday
Due to COVID-19, we will not be gathering at Skylight Cinema this week for Movie Monday as planned. However, in support of our BFF “See It, Be It” Filmmaker Fellows, we’re encouraging everyone to participate in a “Virtual Movie Monday” all week, by watching “International Falls”, (Amber McGinnis), “Olympia”, (McKenzie Chinn) and “Go Back to China”, (Emily Ting). All three films were part of BFF 2019 and the filmmakers are among eight women selected for the inaugural “See It, Be It” Filmmaker Fellowship. Let’s do our part to support independent film and these amazing filmmakers!
THE MISSION
Diverse Storytellers
By supporting the achievements of diverse storytellers, and connecting them with entertainment industry leaders and major… corporate changemakers, we believe we can accelerate the production and distribution of inclusive content to accurately reflect the world we live in.
Thanks so much for your kind hospitality! What a film festival! There’s a few fests out there that could take a lesson from BFF!
