Over the past 21 years, Flatland Film Festival has featured a dynamic range of films. While we are primarily a short film festival, we also feature a carefully curated selection of feature films, documentaries, animations, music videos, and video art. Our programming sparks emotion, challenges perceptions, and illuminates the power of visual storytelling, enriching the cultural dialogue in Lubbock and far beyond.

The Flatland Film Festival celebrates and fosters an appreciation for film, video, and digital moving-image art. We support artists working across these mediums by providing a platform for global filmmakers to showcase their work, share their inspiration, and engage in meaningful discussions about their creative process.
