centre film festival

The Centre Film Festival is a week-long celebration of film and conversation, connecting local voices with global ones through media arts, workshops, and masterclasses.

The festival showcases multigenerational stories on the big screen, with the historic Rowland Theatre and State Theatre serving as century-old touchstones.

By bringing filmmakers and films to the community, we aim to spark conversation and inspire new works. We believe Central Pennsylvania is rich with screen-worthy stories and the talent to bring them to life.

There's much to explore in Happy Valley, PA.
