All in-person screenings will be held at Fort Wayne Cinema Center, 437 E. Berry St. Workshops will take place upstairs at the Fort Wayne Dance Collective studios.
Over the past decade, Hobnobben has grown into northeast Indiana’s premier film festival, spotlighting underrepresented voices and global perspectives while celebrating local talent. This year’s festival continues that legacy with dozens of films from around the world, including narratives, documentaries, and shorts.
Opening Night will once again feature a showcase of Indiana-made films, honoring the festival’s commitment to uplifting local storytellers while also connecting them with a wider international audience.
