The Annapolis Film Festival is showing over 70 films over the course of four days, but festival goers can expect way more than a bunch of movies and that’s what makes the Annapolis Film Festival so interesting and fun.

This is the 11th year of the film festival. Independent films, newly released films and curated conversations are what you can expect at the festival. Producers, directors and actors often participate in panel discussions after the films to share their stories and experiences. Coffee talks will be held at Rams Head on Stage.

And the beauty of having the film festival in Annapolis is that you can walk from venue to venue and plan to stop for a meal at one of the fabulous restaurants that you will pass. There will also be a complimentary purple bus running from 9am - 12pm every day of the festival.
