SUMMARY:Annapolis Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Annapolis Film Festival’s complete film lineup for its 2026 festival\, taking place March 26–29\, 2026. The highly anticipated event will showcase an exciting and diverse program of narrative and documentary features\, along with an exceptional collection of short films from around the globe\, transforming the city into a vibrant hub for filmmakers\, cinephiles\, and cultural tastemakers\, bringing filmmakers\, artists\, and audiences together in historic downtown Annapolis for four days of cinema\, conversation\, and connection.\n\n“This may be the best slate yet!” said Derek Horne\, Director of Programming. “We’re bringing audiences an extraordinary mix of powerful storytelling\, major festival favorites\, breakthrough filmmakers\, and unforgettable performances. It’s a lineup that truly reflects the energy\, diversity\, and cinematic excellence that defines the Annapolis Film Festival.”\nOpening Night will feature an elegant pre-reception for select passholders before the red carpet\, featuring culinary delights by The Palate Pleasers. This will precede the highly anticipated new film\, POWER BALLAD.\n\nLionsgate presents POWER BALLAD in association with 30WEST + Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland\, a Likely Story / Distressed Films production\, in association with Treasure Entertainment.\nWhen Rick (Paul Rudd)\, a past-his-prime wedding singer\, meets fading boy-band star Danny (Nick Jonas) during a gig\, the two bond over music and a late-night jam session. But when Danny turns one of Rick’s songs into the hit that reignites his career\, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves – even if it means risking everything he cares about. From writer-director John Carney (Sing Street\, Once)\, POWER BALLAD is a feel-good story about music\, self-respect\, friendship\, and the price of ambition.\n\n“The Heartbeat of Film” theme reflects the unmistakable vibe of the Annapolis Film Festival: intimate yet electric\, thoughtful yet joyful. It honors the moments when audiences lean forward in their seats\, filmmakers share their truths\, and conversations spill out of theaters into the streets\, cafés\, and waterfront spaces of Annapolis. It’s where film doesn’t just play—it resonates.\n“We are so thrilled to kick off this year’s festival with a feel-good\, music-driven film like POWER BALLAD\, which really fits our vibe\,” say Festival Directors & Cofounders Patti White and Lee Anderson. \n\nThe Brian & Patricia Giese Foundation will serve as the Festival Presenter of the 2026 Annapolis Film Festival and the Annapolis Film Society\, marking a continued and deeply valued partnership rooted in community\, creativity\, and cultural impact. To learn more about the Brian & Patricia Giese Foundation\, please visit www.giesefoundation.org.\n\nThe film is followed by an exclusive after-party at the top of the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium for pass and ticket holders\, featuring a live band to dance the night away.\n\nScreenings and events will be held at venues throughout Annapolis\, including Maryland Hall\, St. John’s College\, Asbury United Methodist Church\, and across the Historic Arts District\, with additional festival experiences such as industry panels\, filmmaker Q&As\, Coffee Talks at RamsHead OnStage\, student programs\, and late-night parties.\n\nThe 2026 slate reflects the Annapolis Film Festival’s commitment to presenting bold new voices\, award-winning films\, fresh narratives\, and timely documentaries that inspire conversation and connection. With 70+ films\, the slate includes spotlight screenings\, curated showcases\, and audience favorites fresh from major international festivals and distributors.\n\nProgramming highlights include: THE EYES OF GHANA—The Black Experience; ELIJAH PEEL—The Faith Experience with special guest actor Kevin Sorbo (HERCULES) and other cast; THIS IS NOT A DRILL—The Environmental Showcase; and AMERICAN PACHUCO—The Latine Experience; EXPEDITION ANTARCTICA: A Journey with Gary Jobson – The Sailing Showcase; and The Jewish Experience\, the documentary TOVAH\, includes a special Q&A with Tovah Feldshuh (NOBODY WANTS THIS\, Netflix.)\nIn addition to its public screenings\, the festival continues its strong community impact through filmmaker engagement and outreach initiatives that bring students\, local organizations\, and regional audiences into the cinematic experience.\n\nThe festival will close on Sunday with a festive final screening\, RUN AMOK\, and the audience– and juried-awards celebration\, Best of Fest\, which brings the community together to hear the winners and see their audience favorites replayed.\nPasses on sale now.\nTickets go on sale Friday\, March 6th\, at www.annapolisfilmfestival.com\n\nOpening Night tickets are $50 and include the after-party.
