by Rich and Laura Lynch

A preview party in advance of the 56th Nashville Film Festival (NFF) was held at the Blueprint Underground Cocktail Club in downtown Nashville on August 07, 2025. Lauren Thelen - NFF's Programming Director shared the 2025 festival trailer along with remarks on some of the great movies that will be shown over this seven-day showcase. She also gave a warm welcome to some of the filmmakers and screenwriters who were in attendance at this networking event.


The 56th Nashville Film Festival - scheduled to run September 18 through 24, 2025 - is an eclectic and expansive celebration of collaborations, culture, movies and music. The festival as always will showcase the best in new independent films from around the world, along with documentaries, full-length features, shorts and so much more. During this week-long event, nearly 150 films will be previewed at the Regal Green Hills, the historic Belcourt Theatre and other cinemas in the Nashville, Tennessee region.

In addition to a full line up of movies there will be Q&A sessions with filmmakers, dynamic insider panels, parties and plenty of opportunities to socialize with fellow film fans. For those in the industry, there is the highly regarded Creators Conference that will be held at the Hilton Nashville Green Hills from September 19-21, 2025. This three-day gathering features an inspiring lineup of panels with film and music professionals alongside networking experiences designed to connect and educate the creative community.

The upscale Blueprint Underground Cocktail Club is located in the historic Printers Alley. The venue is available for private events such as the Nashville Film Festival Preview Party. When open to the public, they have DJs along with non-stop energy paired with a vibe that never quits. On this night, it was the perfect hip hot spot to raise a glass and toast the return of one of Music City's most significant and culturally rewarding events.

We are greatly looking forward to this celebration of cinema. Tickets are now on sale for the 56th Nashville Film Festival and there is still time to purchase special packages for all or part of the Festival. Please visit their website for more details.
