About Us:

Film Fest 919 is a film festival based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina that highlights the best feature films the year has to offer.

Founded by Randi Emerman and Carol Marshall, the festival showcases both great films and the artists behind them, and it gives audiences opportunities to engage with filmmakers.

In the festival’s inaugural year, Film Fest 919’s films went on to win seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and the festival looks to continue to bring films of high quality to Chapel Hill every year. The town has a strong community with a passion for the arts, and Film Fest 919 aims to celebrate these qualities, as well as introducing people from around the country to this small corner of the South.
