It’s only been three years since we started Twelve Lions Film Festival at the historic Kentucky Theatre, but we’ve already had a lot of fun! We’ve screened hundreds of films from around the world, offered workshops for folks just launching careers in cinema, welcomed both emerging filmmakers and veteran artists like Michael Shannon, Arhasha Stevenson, and Steve Zahn, and greeted both movie makers and movie lovers with the kind of hospitality Kentucky is known for.

We hope you will join us in 2026 and help us make more great memories!
