The Annapolis Film Festival screens more than seventy films across four days each late March at venues throughout downtown Annapolis, with categories spanning narrative, documentary, animated, and student work. Produced by Annapolis Film Festival Inc., whose IRS exemption dates to September 2012, the festival includes filmmaker Q&As, coffee talks, and both Audience and Jury Awards.
Annapolis Film Festival Inc.
The festival spreads its screenings across multiple historic venues throughout downtown Annapolis rather than concentrating in one multiplex, turning a visit into a walk through the state capital's colonial-era streets between films
Its coffee talks, informal conversations with visiting directors held apart from formal panel discussions, give attendees a more intimate access point to filmmakers than the standard post-screening Q&A format most festivals rely on exclusively
Running a full slate of narrative, documentary, animated, and student film categories within a compact four-day window makes it a dense, walkable festival experience distinct from sprawling week-long industry events
Post-screening filmmaker Q&As and informal coffee talks with visiting directors are the festival's signature format for audience-filmmaker interaction
alongside Audience Awards voted on by festivalgoers and Jury Awards
