About the festival

Cat Fly is an Asheville-based film festival that serves up and coming indie filmmakers of the Southeast Region, cultivating community and the passion of homegrown filmmaking.

**please note, due to COVID-19 the 4th annual spring festival will be changing format to an online live stream followed by an abbreviated summer event (dates TBA, details to come)**

We have been serving the North Carolina community since 2017.

We classify ourselves as a non-competitive film festival, as we hope to foster a mutually beneficial community of filmmakers, programmers and film-goers.

However, each night an Audience Choice Award is given to the film with the best crowd reaction.
