The Hilltop Film Festival of Diversity and Inclusion is a student-led film festival that has been running for 6 seasons! Our festival gets submissions from all around the globe.

We started at (and got our name from) the Hilltop of Birmingham Southern College in Birmingham, Alabama. We then moved to Cleveland, Ohio, before finding our current home at Ithaca College in Ithaca, New York.

Our Winter 2024 festival is happing Sunday, December 8th from 2:30-4:30 at Cinemapolis in Ithaca, NY. It’s free to attend, and we encourage anyone in the community- filmmaker or otherwise- to attend!
