As we celebrate 15 years of the Capital City Film Festival, we’re reminded how truly special this milestone is. While many independent festivals and arts organizations have had to close their doors, we’re still rolling thanks to the support of our sponsors and community.

A huge thank you to Capital City Market for being a key part of this year’s success. Their support helped us bring world-class cinema, music, and art right to our community’s doorstep — making one to remember.

Here’s to 15 years of storytelling, creativity, and connection.

A huge thank you to CATA - Capital Area Transportation Authority for being an A-List sponsor of the 2025 Capital City Film Festival! We truly could not have made this season happen without the support of partners like you.

CATA and CCFF share a commitment to accessibility and uplifting underrepresented voices in our community. Thanks to their generous support, we were able to bring film, art, and music from across the globe right here to Mid-Michigan.

Shoutout to everyone who rode the bus to the fest — every venue was right along a CATA route!

Thank you, CATA, for helping us keep the spirit of CCFF rolling.
