It’s FilmColumbia!

October 17-25

FilmColumbia, Columbia County’s premier annual cultural event, screens the very best upcoming American and international films for ten days in late October. Now a nationally recognized film event, FilmColumbia is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2025.

If a film screens at FilmColumbia, there’s more than a good chance that following its official release it will go on to be nominated for one of the industry’s top prizes. A look back at the festival’s award-winning programming year after year speaks for itself.
