Hobnobben Film Festival

Hobnobben Film Festival More than a film festival. It's a celebration of the human experience through cinematic storytelling. At Hobnobben, we encourage people to "See and be seen."

By showcasing diverse stories and voices that have been typically excluded, we're able to curate a one-of-a-kind festival that invites participants to see themselves represented on screen — and be seen by others. We shine a light on historically marginalized stories and creators in film: LGBTQIA+, Black, Indigenous, people of color, women, international voices, seniors, non-White/Western, body pos

itive stories, and the quirky/campy. We aim to push boundaries and intellectualize through our programming. We are co-educators who want to make the art of film accessible to everyone. We believe this is best accomplished by meeting people where they’re at and hearing their stories. This isn’t a film fest for film snobs. This is a film festival intended to bring Hoosiers and the global community together.

Both inspiring and at times, heartbreaking, GOLD offers a unique perspective into the world of women who work at this particular club in this rural part of the US.
