About the Festival

The Footcandle Film Festival is designed to bring unique, challenging and entertaining films to Western North Carolina every September. The festival is being held by the founders and members of the Footcandle Film Society, a 600-member group dedicated to screening and discussing films on a monthly basis. The society was formed in late 2008 by Alan Jackson & Chris Frye. The inaugural film festival was held in September of 2015.
