[7] The Capital City Film Festival was founded in 2011 in the hopes of screening and encouraging local shorts and feature-length movies being made in and about Michigan.
The scope broadened immediately due to the response from filmmakers and the festival now programs a wide variety of documentaries, narratives, experimental, and short films.
A full lineup of movies is shown across the Greater Lansing Region, alongside national bands and parties in the evenings.
The signature events have included the Red Carpet Opening Night Party, Fortnight Film Contest, Symphonic Cinema, TEDxLansing, The MSU Media Sandbox, and free screenings throughout.
Cofounded by Nicole Szymczak, Dominic Cochran, Jason Gabriel, and Camron Gnass[8][9][10] In addition to the festival, the CCFF also hosts the Fortnight Film Contest.
