Hill Country Film Festival

The Hill Country Film Festival was an independent film festival held in Fredericksburg from 2010, run by a volunteer team. It screened features, shorts and documentaries from Texas and elsewhere, with filmmaker Q&As, panels and parties, and gave cash prizes through a partnership with Pedernales Cellars: $1,500 for its Cinema Dulce best-of-fest award and $1,000 for the best Texas film. Its last listed edition ran May 30 to June 2, 2024. The festival's website now carries a farewell message from organizers saying it is time for "closing credits," so it is listed here as defunct.
