The Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival (HSDFF) 2024 will kick off with a bang, featuring Space Cowboy as the opening night film. This annual event celebrates the art of documentary filmmaking and brings together a diverse array of films from different genres and regions.

Exciting Line-up for HSDFF 2024

This 33rd edition of the HSDFF is scheduled for October 18-26, 2024 in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The festival not only showcases ground-breaking documentaries but also spotlights unique works in progress besides launching new shorts from its Documentary Filmmaking Workshop.

Other special movies include the world premiere of Doug Pray’s Louder Than Guns and several exciting works from talented directors such as Yoruba Richen, Brad Lichtenstein, Ivan MacDonald, Ivy MacDonald, and Daniel Glick.

Fostering Documentaries and Docudramas

HSDFF 2024 brings a fresh approach by embracing not only documentaries but also the art of mockumentary and docudrama. It will present Charles B. Pierce’s classic 1972 horror docudrama The Legend of Boggy Creek, breathing new life into an Arkansas classic.

Renowned filmmaker Steve James will be honored with the HSDFF Brent Renaud Career Achievement Award. Meanwhile, Maisie Crow and Abbie Perrault will also be recognized, receiving the Impact Award for their recent documentary, Zurawski v Texas.

Empowering Regional Filmmakers

In line with its mission to support regional filmmakers, HSDFF will host the Filmmaker Forum for three consecutive days. Supported by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Reel South, and PBS, the conference aims to encourage filmmakers in the South and Mid-South region.

Film enthusiasts can expect an impressive lineup of films from across the world. From Space Cowboy’s soaring stunts to the hard-hitting Louder Than Guns and the poetic journey of Dahomey by director Mati Diop, the selection promises to be varied and vibrant.
