At Hobnobben Film Festival, we aim to champion unique and diverse storytellers. Our 5th annual festival will be held October 23rd -25th at Cinema Center, a 501c3 non-profit art-house theater, located in the downtown Fort Wayne arts district. Cinema Center’s mission is to provide unique opportunities to explore our world through the art of film, and Hobnobben allows us the opportunity to do this – like whoa.
Fort Wayne is a great place to live, a great place to visit and a great place to have a film festival – we take our filmmaker hospitality seriously and want everyone to feel welcome and heard. Any selected filmmakers in attendance will receive two VIP filmmaker passes to the festival, free of charge.
Did we mention this is our 5th annual festival? Yeah, five years of amazing films, amazing filmmakers, amazing memories, and amazing audiences. We are legit stoked for October and want you to be a part of it.
Diversity: Need it. Want it. Gotta have it. No seriously, the stories we tell and who tells them matters. We want to hear as many voices as possible. We don’t have an international category, for example, because we want to see international submissions in ALL our categories.
Proceeds from the festival go toward supporting, maintaining and programming Fort Wayne’s non-profit art-house movie theater, Cinema Center.
