International Film Festival Planet Frame Returns to the Mountains of North Carolina This Fall

The Appalachian Mountains are among the oldest in the world.
This fall, against the backdrop of North Carolina’s mountain landscape, the international film festival Planet Frame will return for its new season.

Held in Morganton, Planet Frame continues to grow as a platform for independent cinema, bringing together filmmakers and audiences through stories that explore culture, humanity, nature, and the world around us.

The festival is developing its own distinctive identity — one shaped not only by cinema, but also by the atmosphere of the Appalachian region itself. Surrounded by mountains, forests, and open skies, Planet Frame offers a setting far removed from the pace of major entertainment centers, creating space for a more personal and immersive cinematic experience.

Films from around the world.
Stories under the stars.
Cinema that connects people.

The festival welcomes independent filmmakers whose work seeks meaningful dialogue with audiences and demonstrates the power of storytelling beyond borders and languages.

Planet Frame has officially opened international submissions for the upcoming fall season.

And perhaps the next film to become part of this growing international festival story is still waiting to be discovered.
