For the first year of the Fredericksburg Film Festival, we strived to showcase films that are not only creative and innovative, but are a tad off the beaten path. This year our theme is “it’s not the camera, it’s the eye”,  which is dedicated to the idea that it is not the camera that determines the strength of a film; it is the eye of the filmmaker who dreams it into reality. Some of these films may have been bound by budget, but they are unbound by the formulaic structure of mainstream cinema. In that spirit, FFF emerged with one of the best lineups of Virginia film festivals, in only its first year.

FFF 2025, which will be held from April 16-20, will highlight filmmakers from across Virginia and across the country, many of whom will be in attendance. And, as of today, VIP passes for FFF are now on sale!

The All-Access VIP pass earns attendees admission to all FFF screenings, panels, workshops, and social mixers, as well as priority seating and exclusive FFF swag. The Standard VIP Pass earns attendees admission to all FFF screenings and social mixers, as well as priority seating and FFF swag. All-Access VIP passes start at $175 and Standard VIP passes start at $140, until our lineup is announced soon, when the prices will be raised. Day Passes and Individual Tickets will go on sale once our lineup is announced.

Purchasing either pass additionally earns attendees access to an exclusive VIP mixer at Reclaim Arcade on Wednesday, March 19th at 6:00pm. Swing by to play some free arcade games, and get to know other FFF VIP’s and filmmakers.

FFF 2025 is shaping up to be an event that not only celebrates the creativity of our extraordinary filmmakers, but provides the people of Fredericksburg with a great opportunity to experience new, innovative cinema.
