EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The El Paso Film Festival, now in its eighth year, has been named one of the top 50 film festivals worth attending.
The festival, which will be held Sept. 25-27 in Downtown El Paso, was recognized by MovieMaker Magazine for the second straight year, the film festival said in a news release.
The film festival was recognized as one of the top 50 around the world worth paying the entry fee for in 2024 and again this year, according to the film festival.
The annual list is curated with the help and feedback from a panel of professionals and
filmmakers who have had recent successful festival runs with their films, the news release said.
“Three days of fun, smart, spirited films in a borderland city packed with the stories of three
cultures: Texas, Mexico, and the fascinating places where they intersect,” Tim Molloy, editor of MovieMaker Magazine, said. “Those who get in will find themselves quickly embraced by a film scene that emphasizes cheering everyone on and raising all boats.”
Founded in 2018 by filmmaker Carlos F. Corral with the support of the Paso Del Norte
Community Foundation, the El Paso Film Festival has attracted a diverse audience of film
aficionados, passionate storytellers, and filmmaking executives, the news release said.
“Being recognized, once again, as one of the top film festivals in the world means we are
evolving into a global destination for filmmakers,” Corral said. “This recognition continues to
highlight the unique, vibrant experience we create here in the far west side of Texas.”
VIP Badges are now on sale for the general public at the El Paso Film Festival website. Aside
from the VIP badges, many of the film festivals events and programs will be free for the public to
attend.
Single tickets will go on sale in the near future, the website said.
