About the festival

We love films. And we love sandwiches.

Making films is a lot like making sandwiches. And when all the right ingredients come together, the result is delicious.

The Twin Falls SANDWICHES Film Festival was created by filmmakers to celebrate independent filmmaking and showcase unique films.

We have the support of fantastic sponsors that ensure we welcome our guests with open arms and open-face sandwiches. Generous sponsors include the Twin Falls Sandwich Company, Koto Brewing, Von Schmidt Brewery, Glanbia Nutritionals, CLIF bar, and Chobani.

The TFSFF has awarded over $6000 in cash and prizes to filmmakers and screenwriters.

The 2-day event is held at the historic Orpheum Theatre in downtown Twin Falls nestled in the beautiful Magic Valley. Twin Falls is surrounded by majestic mountains, water falls, and the Snake River. Guests enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and took advantage of the outdoor activities available within a short drive.

Come join us for film, fellowship and sandwiches.
