FAQ
What is the Columbia Film Festival?
Founded in 2016, the Columbia Film Festival aims to introduce Howard County audiences to the best in world, national, and local cinema, and is dedicated to inspiring and reflecting the diverse community it serves.
Originally presented LIVE to audiences, in 2020 Columbia Film Festival was forced to move to a virtual platform due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. For 2021 we are excited to use the powerful EVENTIVE platform to present over 60 films online, as well as via Apple TV and Roku!
The Columbia Film Festival presents films from all genres, including features, shorts, documentaries, world cinema, special themes, Maryland based films, as well as works by student filmmakers.
