Welcome to the El Paso Film Festival (EPFF), a film festival in the far west oasis of Texas! Our festival is one of the largest in Texas to showcase emerging filmmakers on a bi-national stage, providing an inclusive platform where film lovers of every stripe can discover and support the next generation of regional movie makers.

At EPFF, we're dedicated to elevating the creative voice and vision of all filmmakers, regardless of their experience level. Our festival brings film directors to the audience, creating a unique opportunity for engagement and awareness among professional filmmakers, artists, and audiences across a national platform.

Our goal is to empower the new faces of filmmaking by connecting them with seasoned professionals for mentorship and collaborative opportunities. We're creating a destination event for the region that can stimulate the economy as well as the arts.

Since our founding in 2018 by filmmaker Carlos F. Corral, we have attracted a diverse audience of film aficionados, passionate storytellers, and filmmaking executives. We are proud to be a partner of the Film Festival Alliance organization and a member of the Texas Motion Picture Alliance

Come join us at the El Paso Film Festival and discover the best new voices in cinema today!
