Filmfest DC brings the best of international cinema to Washington, presenting 70+ films each year. Celebrating nearly 40 years, the festival features a mix of comedies, thrillers, and thought-provoking stories on human drama, history, and conflict.
One of the best parts of #FilmfestDC is hearing from filmmakers. Here’s what they said about bringing their work to DC and how much your support meant to them.
Thank you to every filmmaker and every audience member who made FFDC'25 so special. Until next year, movie-lovers! 🎬❤️
