Hobnobben 2022: Submissions now closed

Oct. 13 - Oct 16, 2022

Hobnobben Film Festival invites filmmakers, film lovers, and the film-curious to see themselves, and be seen by others, as we celebrate the human experience through film.

At Hobnobben Film Festival, we aim to champion unique and diverse storytellers. Our 7th annual festival will be held October 13-16, 2022, at Fort Wayne Cinema Center, a 501c3 nonprofit arthouse theater, located in the downtown Fort Wayne arts district. Cinema Center’s mission is to provide unique opportunities to explore our world through the art of film, and Hobnobben allows us the opportunity to do this – like whoa.

Hobnobben Film Festival 2021

Thanks to community partners such as the Fort Wayne Embassy Theatre, the festival was able to continue in 2020 and 2021 without interruption. We offered three days of back-to-back international films both inside this grand theatre both years and in 2021, we introduced a virtual festival option.
