Gleaners Film Festival

Gleaners Film Festival is an annual, non-profit exhibition and celebration of marginal cinematic forms, subjects, and communities. Situated in the city of Lancaster, PA, the festival brings together independent local, national, and international work that is often overlooked by dominant industry and mainstream cultural platforms.

The first iteration of this new, annual festival will take place on September 22-24, 2022. All programs, with the exception of the special event with John Waters, will be free and open to the public. While future iterations of the festival will hold an open call, this year the festival’s directors have curated the program by invitation.
