CFF Goes to 11! Early Bird Discounts For Chattanooga Film Festival 2024 Badges Are Available Now For A Limited Time
SUMMER CAMP FOR CINEPHILES IS BACK! IT’S THE 11TH ANNUAL CHATTANOOGA FILM FESTIVAL!
Acclaimed genre film festival The Chattanooga Film Festival's organizers have announced the first details of their upcoming 11th edition, which will take place from June 21-28, 2024.
As in its tenth edition, the festival will be presented in a hybrid format, with both in-person and virtual programming. The festival's in-person dates, June 21-24, will again be held at Chattanooga's historic haunted hotel, The Read House.
The event will feature a number of films and special events 2024 attendees can look forward to, including a salute to the influential anthology sci-fi/horror series THE TWILIGHT ZONE, with legendary creator Rod Serling's daughter, author Anne Serling, in attendance.
Anne joins the CFF family, along with TWILIGHT ZONE historian/author Mark Dawidziak, for a screening of her father's favorite episodes, as well as a panel discussion on the ZONE'S legacy and lasting influence, and a special 100th birthday celebration for Rod Serling at the gorgeous Chattanooga Whiskey Event Hall.

"Serling and The Twilight Zone's influence will be felt in eerie ways throughout this year's festival," festival director Chris Dortch II said in a recent statement.

Other exciting 2024 offerings sure to please the eclectic tastes of the festival's loyal audience include a special 60th-anniversary screening of Russ Meyer's endlessly cool cult classic FASTER, PUSSYCAT KILL! KILL! and a secret screening programmed by New York Times bestselling author/screenwriter Adam Cesare. Cesare will also sign copies of his popular CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD novels. Additionally, more than 30 features, dozens of shorts, live podcasts, parties, panels, a screenplay pitch competition, and "The Redeye"--the festival's now infamous nightly secret screening series--are sure to please longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Thanks to its commitment to audience and filmmaker accessibility, consistently surprising and eclectic programming, and warm-hearted southern hospitality, the Chattanooga Film Festival has, in just 11 years, been chosen as one of The 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World (MovieMaker Magazine, 2022), one of The Best Horror Festivals in the World (Dread Central, 2022), one of The World’s Best Genre Festivals (MovieMaker, 2020,2021), and was recently hailed as "the gold standard on how to run a welcoming, unpretentious, no-bullshit film fest for folks who want to hang out and have a good time together" by legendary cinema publication FANGORIA.
Virtual and hybrid badges with discounted Early Bird pricing are available now. Early Bird pricing ends March 18. The festival's virtual offerings can be watched anywhere in the United States.
