Organizers of the Chattanooga Film Festival — affectionately referred to as “summer camp for cinephiles” by its fans — have announced a fun-sized first wave of films and events taking place at the 13th edition of their festival, which will be held in person at the Chattanooga Theatre Centre from June 18-21 and virtually June 19-27.
This event also marks the long-awaited return of a fan-favorite guest — filmmaker Joe Lynch, who along with his wife and frequent collaborator filmmaker Becca Howard will treat guests to a live episode of their popular podcast A COUPLE OF OLD FASHIONEDS.
Joe and Becca will also help the festival celebrate the anniversaries of two bona fide cult classics by hosting screenings of 1981’s HEAVY METAL and FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI: JASON LIVES, which turn 45 and 40 respectively in 2026.
Also sure to thrill festival goers is the return of EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE, who’ve graced CFF’s stages and events many times over the years and now return with the psyche-shredding spectacle that is their live MEMORY HOLE: ANIMALS ARE OVER show…
