“This festival’s selection of narrative feature films has a little something for everyone. With a sampling of action, comedy, and drama these films are sure to take the festival audiences on a ride of emotions. This group of festival award winning films feature faces you will recognize from large studio pictures along with faces your sure to be seeing much more of in the coming years,” said Tabitha Walker, Macon Film Festival programmer.

“The narrative shorts category is always one of the most competitive categories during the judging process. With a record number of category submissions each of this year’s programmed shorts received perfect or near perfect scores from the festival screeners. This block of programmed films is sure to take the festival audience on an journey of laughter, love, and reflection,” Walker added.

The complete listing of official selections are both domestic and international, including selections from Afghanistan, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Cyrus, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, South Korea, Spain, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey United Kingdom, and the USA. All films will screen twice during the festival, except for the special screenings and the Central Georgia Showcase films, which will only screen once.
