The Nantucket Film Festival was founded by brother and sister team Jill and Jonathan Burkhart in 1996. The Burkhart's lived on the island year round, and with their love of movies and the community, they knew it was the perfect place to begin a film festival. In 1997, Mystelle Brabbée joined the team and today serves as the Executive Director. NFF continues to thrive, always remaining true to its mission to promote the cultural awareness and appreciation fo the art of screenwriting in the world of cinema.

These days, NFF has become one of the premiere destination film festivals in the world. Visitors come from all over to experience our preview screenings, signature programs, and stand out hospitality on a magical island rich with history, a friendly atmosphere, and beautiful sandy beaches.

Join us for the 27th edition of the Nantucket Film Festival, June 22-27, 2022!
