Nevada City Film Festival
The Nevada City Film Festival and Inn Town Campground have teamed up to offer the ultimate Film Lovers Getaway! Enter to win two all-access passes to the 16th Annual Nevada City Film Festival, September 8-11, 2016, and two nights glamping at the Inn Town Campground. We’ll also throw in a one-of-a-kind Nevada City bag filled with a selection of handmade sweets, treats, and other goodies made right here in Nevada City.
Every summer, the Nevada City Film Festival makes art into a party, bringing a regional audience of movie lovers together with emerging and top independent filmmakers to showcase award-winning short and feature length films from around the world. This year NCFF features 60+ award-winning short and feature length films from around the world, 35+ visiting filmmakers, Kaleidoscope Virtual Reality Showcase, a special 10-year Anniversary screening of Little Miss Sunshine with filmmakers Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, Best of the Fest outdoor screening at Ol’ Republic Brewery, after parties and much more!
“Every year people ask what the theme of the film festival is, and every year I reply with, ‘the best in independent cinema’,” explains Festival Director Jesse Locks. “This year though, there was a common thread that connected many of the films, and that was the pursuit of happiness.” This year’s official selections promise to inspire and provoke festival-goers not only with the sometimes true stories shared, but by the creative and ingenious filmmaking methods and mediums in which they are told.

I love the Nevada City Film Festival because its such a huge local effort – it shows how creative our community is – so many local film makers contribute! My two good friends are visiting that weekend – both film buffs and its one of their birthdays! Crossing fingers I’ll win this awesome package for them!!
A great reason to check out your new campground! Such a great addition to the local scene. Great work!
Films, especially independent films, tell stories like no other medium. Seeing such films in such a beautiful place as the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, I just cannot think of anything more delightful.
The NC Film Festival offers many inspiring messages and unique styles to enjoy. It is one of the many events which bring much culture to this beautiful community.
My dear friend, who is a acupuncture therapist, is coming to visit to look for a new home here and enjoy the Film Festival with me. She would love to stay at the Inn Town Campground, so I am hoping to win the prize for her visit in Nevada City.
The film festival is what makes living here wonderful. 🙂
An amazing local community effort set in the beautiful foothills…what could be better! I’m dying to check out Inn Town Campground and it just so happens to be my 40th Bday weekend. Fingers crossed!
I’ve never been to a film festival before, but always wanted to go to one. I’ve always been very impressed with the live arts scene of local artist, and I know Nevada has an incredible one. Would be honored if I was selected as your winner. I can’t think of a better first time film festival venue than Nevada City. Lord knows I am in need of a great cultural experience! Been working hard all summer long with year end close and financial statement preparation. Momma needs some outside fun!
I’ve never been glamping before, either. I know Outside Inn would set the bar high for me. This valley girl would just soak the experience in!
And I already know about some of those tasty handmade goodies 🙂
Thank you for the opportunity to win and experience The Ultimate Film Lovers Getaway!
Good Luck Everyone!
The films are about something good= happiness!
I love taking my daughter to the kids movies!
The film festival is such an awesome part of our community and it has helped to put our amazing little town on the map! It is a fun, cultured, and artistic event.
The film festival is an awesome local event that shows what is so special about Nevada City. After one film we got tort the filmmakers and ask questions. It was amazing!
I love the variety of films…and always look forward to comedy night.
I have yet to get to this film festival … always do wild and scenic tho’. Would love to finally see some films. We are so amazingly lucky all that happens in this community. Yowza!!!
I love all the festivals that are thrown in Nevada City. They always have a great crowd and you always walk away feeling like you know more and are just a better person for having experienced it all. (I do highly recommend that you bring your chair cushions though!)
I love seeing local filmmakers and what they are passionate about.
What an amazing give away. Our little town rocks for a lot of ressons and the film festival is definitely one of them!!
I have never been to the Nevada City Film Festival but always looking for a new event and area to explore!
I have never actually been to the Nevada City Film Festival. THis year seems like a good time to start.

Another film festival? We are too blessed!
Nevada City Film Festival is bringing diversity and culture to local communities. By bringing community members together and exploring films, we tighten our friendships, share new and creative ideas and build stronger community. What a great effort!
Love everything about the festival: the local, small-town vibe mixed with the best of independent cinema; good food; kind people; beautiful scenery. What’s not to love?
I’ve never been, and from all the good buzz I’ve heard about it sounds like I shouldn’t miss it this year!
Love going to this film festival ♡
September 9th is our 16th Anniversary and I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than to come and spend the weekend enjoying all that Nevada City and the Inn Town campground Glamping sites has to offer! I am a busy Nurse who rarely gets time away to spend with my Husband and it would be pure joy to win and be able to take some much needed time for rest and relaxation. Blessings!
Glamping and movies, my two favorite things! And Nevada City! My third favorite thing! What a dream come true! <3
The Nevada City Film Festival is such a great way to highlight the local talent and showcase Nevada City!
Perfect combination: glamping, trees, fresh air, serenity, and films!! Lovelovelove this idea. Pick me! Pick me!
We’ve gone to the festival in the past. It’s fun to see movies that aren’t in the main stream.
I love that they show a variety of films last year it was awesome! I got to work the concession stand and watch a few but would love to enjoy the entire experience this year!
This would be a perfect mother/daughter getaway for me and my mom. We love Nevada city and love independent films and especially seeing them together!
This is a great time of year to take in the visuals Nevada City has to offer!
I am truly blessed to have such a prostegious Film event right in my back yard!
I love the Nevada City Film Festival, because it’s where I got my start working in video locally. Jessie Locks gave me a job doing intern work for her, and I fell in love with the way independent film brought some many different types of people together. It is such an incredible event, and makes me so proud that our sweet town can offer it! 🙂
