our History
Compton Film Festival is Science of Film Promoting the Art
The Compton Film Festival emerged as a vital force in 2025, and hasn’t stopped since. The festival’s genesis was driven by a vision to uplift the community and showcase the talent within Compton and surrounding areas.
The initial spark for the Compton Film Festival came from a group of local artists who recognized the power of film to tell stories, inspire change, and provide opportunities for aspiring filmmakers. Seeing a need to amplify voices often underrepresented in mainstream media, they believed a film festival could serve as a platform to celebrate diverse narratives, foster creativity, and provide a space for cultural exchange.
