The Vermont Film & Folklore Festival (VFFF) is an annual event based in Manchester, Vermont that celebrates movies and storytelling. Cinema is arguably the most exciting, accessible art, and brings disparate audiences together like no other art form. VFFF is the only international film festival to serve the 200,000 people of Southern Vermont, and features NEW independent film, Vermont-made films, and classic cinema on 16mm, as well as seminars and social events. Join us May 13 – 18, 2025 in Manchester and Brattleboro, VT.

Venues Include:
Brattleboro – The Latchis Theatre
Manchester – Manchester Community Library, Southern Vermont Arts Center, The Wheel Write Imaginarium, Northshire Civic Center (Riley Center) and Union Underground.
