CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – The Chattanooga Film Festival releases the first half of their lineup for June.

This year’s festival will once again be virtual.

It is scheduled from June 23-28.

This year’s films include two world premieres among a slate of docs, dramas and a whole lot of horror.

The Festival also has guests:

Filmmaker Graham Skipper will be celebrating the world’s longest running film franchise and legendary icon, Godzilla. Storyteller and author Clay McCleod Chapman returns for another installment of the infamous Pumpkin Pie Show, and our ever popular Screenplay Pitch Competition with Rustic Films’ producer David Lawson Jr. is back.

“The world hasn’t quite ended yet, and with the summer heat about to sneak up on us, we wanted to bring another virtual edition made up of the most magical cinema from across the globe, lovingly curated and assembled,” says executive director and lead programmer Chris Dortch II.

“We’re incredibly proud of this year’s line up, and know that genre film fans will love the world premiere films, the bangers from the current festival circuit, a few things that we bet have flown underneath their radar, and some bonkers deep cuts.”

VIP Badges are on sale now at chattfilmfest.org and give attendees access to all films and events. Individual tickets to films will be available closer to the festival.
