Mark your calendars for the debut of the Round Top Film Festival (RTFF), November 7th to 10th, 2024. Founded by the dynamic mother-daughter duo of Shanna Schanen and Skylar Schanen, the four-day event is a celebration of creativity, education, and community spirit. The Schanens’ Round Top roots run deep; Shanna and Skylar have witnessed the town’s transformation from a quiet retreat to a vibrant cultural hub for much of the calendar year. The festival’s co-founders are proud to contribute to its cultural growth while celebrating and preserving its unique charm. To that end, RTFF’s diverse lineup promises the finest films from across the globe that have been collectively selected to stimulate dialogue, generate appreciation, and cultivate recognition of the artistry of the silver screen. Set against the backdrop of iconic Festival Hill, the fest’s centerpiece screening venue, RTFF will take attendees on a multi-faceted visual journey that will challenge, inspire, and captivate. Fest guests should expect four days of screenings, discussions, parties, music, and a whole lot of fun in recognition of the many diverse facets of filmmaking underneath the wide Texas sky. The Round Top Film Festival is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
