BENTONVILLE FILM FESTIVAL 2025 THAT’S A WRAP!

The 11th Annual Bentonville Film Festival (BFF) rolled into town June 16–22, 2025, bringing a week packed with great films, family fun, and those unforgettable summer vibes. Movie lovers gathered under the stars at the Geena Davis Outdoor Theater to catch classics like Beetlejuice and Superman: The Movie. Kids had a blast at the Walmart Toy Corner, filled with games, crafts, and a special storytime with Elmo and Geena Davis. BFF showcased 28 competition films—including nine world premieres—and spotlighted local talent with a brand-new Homegrown section. With director Q&As, panels, and plenty of chances to connect, BFF 2025 was more than a festival—it was a celebration of creativity, community, and pure movie magic.
Thanks for making BFF 2025 a blockbuster week—see you next year for even more movie magic!
