NOT YOUR TYPICAL FILM FESTIVAL

The lights are bright.
The food is of local legend.
The drinks are the best the Tar Heel State has to offer.

We stand by our creed:
good films, good people, good times.

Here, everyone’s family.
Bow ties or blue jeans.
Top-shelf or sweet tea from a mason jar.

Because here’s the truth:

Just like our films, you don’t have to look a certain way to belong.
You don’t have to come from the right place.
You just have to show up as yourself—and bring something real.

That’s the Argyle Rebel way.
Always be epic. Always be you.

OUR STORY (ABOUT TAFF)

Five years ago, we created The Argyle Film Festival to build a home for daring artists—storytellers who would stop at nothing to bring their visions to life.

These were filmmakers with no budgets, limited equipment, and little more than relentless determination. Armed with a camera and belief in their story, they refused to wait for permission. They made the work anyway.

The Argyle Film Festival has come to embody that spirit:
the North Carolina independent, emerging, and student filmmaker—
carrying a camera in one hand and the dreams of home in the other.

TAFF exists to celebrate those voices and place them on a stage worthy of their ambition.

THE FILMS

We are the stage for North Carolina’s best—
independent filmmakers, emerging voices, and fearless students—
together proving this state has something phenomenal to say,
and the world needs to hear it.

Each year, TAFF curates a lineup that reflects:
