Black Hills Film Festival

International Film Festival: professional and student works.

About

The mission of the Black Hills Film Festival is to bring high quality films from all over the world to the Black Hills of South Dakota; to build awareness of independent films and film as an art form; and to provide educational opportunities for filmmakers.

The festival is a true celebration of cinema and the renegades who do what it takes to get their vision to the screen. The festival takes over the mountain town of Hill City, and Rapid City, SD, to line up world-class parties for the evenings, and powerful workshops throughout each day.
