The Nashville Film Festival (NaFF) today announced the full line-up of feature films in competition and special presentations for the 44th annual Festival, April 18-25. One of the oldest and largest film festivals in the U.S., NaFF will screen more than 200 films. This year submissions topped 3,004, breaking all festival records.

“I’m more excited about this year than ever,” said Artistic Director, Brian Owens. “We have a fantastic offering of films. In addition to our extensive shorts program, we’ll present eight special presentation films and 56 films
in competition. Our total cash awards will exceed $40,000. And, there is something for everyone in this year’s lineup.”

The Nashville Film Festival, named one of the top five in the U.S. by Brooks Institute, and an Academy Award Qualifier, has become one of the premier showcases for the best new work of American and international filmmakers.
