Born from a love of film, creativity, and community, the Highlands–Cashiers Film Festival (HCFF) is an annual celebration of storytelling in all its forms. The festival showcases curated and independent films from around the world in competitive categories, sharing stories that inspire, connect, and reveal our shared humanity.
Supported by volunteers and benefiting the Highlands Performing Arts Center, HCFF has quickly become a signature cultural gathering in the Western North Carolina mountains.
