The Driftless Film Festival

November 4-8 | Mineral Point Opera House


Putting on a one day festival is hard, putting on an enduring, successful, two day film festival for over 15 years is about persistence, passion and dedication and an undying love for cinema.  Darren Burrows and Nicholas, are not only the founders of the DFF but filmmakers and cinephiles in their own right.  Every year the DFF brings thought provoking films featuring local film makers as well as a few international entries. The festival year as in the past places a heavy emphasis on the short film format.  Find out this year's schedule or purchase tickets at https://driftlessfilmfestival.com/
