Welcome to the 8th Annual Ocean City Film Festival.
The Film Fest was founded in 2017 and is a production of the nonprofit Art League of Ocean City, whose youth and outreach programs benefit from the festival. An annual event that attracts international, national, and regional artists working in film, in 2024 the festival will screen 100 independent films, both short and feature length, and offer socializing with the filmmakers. The 4-day festival creates community engagement for film lovers and networking opportunities for filmmakers of all levels. And it’s the best excuse to visit the beach in March, with special discounted rates on oceanfront rooms.
