Welcome to Bentonville!
Our towns are the heart of America. Some say that they’re gone, moved on, or simply faded away. But there’s a new American town on the map. It’s a town with a big heart and even bigger ambition. A town where modern progress meets rich history, where the arts meet innovation, and where companies meet communities. A town you can explore with all of your senses: from fresh air in the Ozarks, to fresh cuisine on your plate. That town is Bentonville, Arkansas. A town to visit, to see, to breathe, and to discover: “Now this is a great town.” Visit Bentonville — a new American town.

The Bentonville Film Festival served as such a wonderful launching pad for Lez Bomb. The enthusiasm and support from the festival and its affiliates was incredible. BFF will always hold a warm place in my heart. I met many inspiring filmmakers, and even collaborated with Jesse Einstein months later, after meeting this kindred spirit in the filmmakers lounge. We’re so grateful for the continued support of Geena Davis, The Geena Davis Institute, and all the hard working staff at BFF helping to make a positive impact on the industry.

MEET THE MAKERS 2018
We asked our BFF Filmmakers to make a video so you could get to know them and their films a little better. They had to pitch their film and say how it connects to BFF’s mission of inclusion in media, all in under 20 seconds! See what past filmmakers sent.
