Fairhope Film Festival

Call Directions Website Contact the organization

Fairhope Film Festival Founded as a nineteenth century utopian experiment, Fairhope has flourished as an arts community for over 100 years.

Join us in beautiful Fairhope, Alabama, Nov 12-15 2026 for world-class award winning films over 4 days! 🎥
🌐 fairhopefilmfestival.org Located at the geographic center of America’s Gulf Coast, the quaint, beautiful and historic bayside city of Fairhope, Alabama, is the home of the Fairhope Film Festival. The four festival venues, within walking distance of each other, will be located in the famous, flower-filled downtown area—considered Carmel by the Bay—convenient to restaurants, hotels, locally owned shops and the town bluffs, which boast sweeping views of the 413 square mile Mobile Bay. The Fairhope Film Festival is a film lover’s film festival, offering participants the opportunity to see world-class award winning films in a unique, picturesque location over a four-day period. The focus is on national and international film festival competition finalists of the past year: the “best of the best” in cinema arts. Notable foreign and feature films, documentaries and shorts—many that never made it to the big box theaters or were only there briefly—will be selected for appreciative audiences. Although the festival will pull out all the stops, Southern-style, to host opening and closing events and parties, the emphasis will be on the art of filmmaking and the experience of seeing exceptional films. Directors, actors and screenwriters will participate in the screenings both in person and via live electronic transmission. The people of the Gulf Coast have always loved a good story. Meet us on our front porch this fall to catch a bay breeze and 40-plus select tales you won’t forget.
