About Us

Hobnobben Film Festival is an annual Film Festival presented by Fort Wayne Cinema Center. Our festival connects filmmakers, film lovers, and the film-curious by illuminating the kaleidoscope of human experience through storytelling that projects ideas, conversations, and relationships beyond the cinema walls.

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.
