Appalachian stories take center stage in downtown Clarksburg during the Mtn Craft Film Festival, October 2–4 at the historic Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center. The festival showcases independent films connected to Appalachia while bringing audiences and filmmakers together for screenings, Q&As, hands-on workshops, art, food, drinks, and special events throughout the weekend.
Thanks to this year's festival sponsors, admission is FREE—including workshops. Come downtown for one screening, build an afternoon around a few short films and a workshop, or settle in for the full festival experience. With no ticket price standing in the way, Mtn Craft is an opportunity for everyone to discover Appalachian filmmaking and experience one of West Virginia's distinctive celebrations of independent cinema.
