Celebrating the Art and Industry of Film, the South Georgia Film Festival has been bringing filmmakers from across the world and the region to Valdosta since 2017.

Having screened Oscar-award-winning films to rising filmmakers, the festival balances the amazing work that is produced along with educating future filmmakers and the community on the fastest growing industry in Georgia.

Bringing industry leaders from across the state to discuss how communities can be involved in the film industry has shown a light on the work that’s being down across our region. Your support helps us:

√ Provide lodging for visiting filmmakers
