PREMIERING SEPTEMBER 15, 2022! CFAC is excited to announce and host Cabot’s second film festival – the Firehouse Film Festival. A short film festival coordinated with Cabot City Beautiful’s already successful Food Truck Frenzy event, submitted films will be viewed and the filmmakers will be celebrated in Downtown Cabot.

The Firehouse Film Festival will accept short films (less than 5 minutes) June 1, 2022 through July 31, 2022. The Firehouse Film Festival will be held on September 15, 2022. A panel of judges will award the following categories: Best Film, Best Director, Best Performance, Best Cinematography, Local Flair, and Best Editor. There will also be an Audience Choice award. The winner of each category will receive $250!

Entry fee for films is $25.

The top films (this is a family event, so films selected for viewing will be chosen accordingly) will be selected and shown at 6pm on September 15 during Cabot City Beautiful’s Food Truck Frenzy event.
