The Cucalorus Film Foundation is a multi-disciplinary media arts organization supporting emerging and innovative artists through festivals, grants, residencies, and a community cinema with screenings and youth education programs throughout the year. Cucalorus brings people together to celebrate, discover, and create. The annual Cucalorus Film Festival provides a non-competitive environment to support independent filmmakers, performance artists, and community organizers who use storytelling to transform our world.
The countdown is on for the 32nd annual Cucalorus Film Festival, returning to historic downtown Wilmington November 19–22, 2026. Whether you're a filmmaker ready to share your work, a business looking to support the arts, or a film lover eager to experience one of the Southeast's most unique cultural events, now is the time to get involved.
