Now in its 56th year, the annual Nashville Film Festival returns to Music City this week, Sept. 18-24, boasting tons of incredible feature films, documentaries, shorts, world premieres, student films, creator panels, awards, and much more! More modestly-sized compared to some of the flashier fests around the nation like Sundance, Tribeca, or SXSW, Nashville’s fest is, nonetheless, vibrant and unique in its own right, and leaning into the city’s musical associations, as well as showcasing tons of Tennessee filmmaking talent, has long been an important component. From the opening night presentation of a documentary about Paul McCartney, to a special screening of Bill Condon’s flashy new musical for the festival’s closing night, plus docs about musical legends, local landmarks, a tribute to the late John Prine, an examination of our nation’s epidemic of gun violence through the lens of local tragedy, plus narrative features in music, horror, and comedy, shorts and student features, music video presentations, and so much more, this year’s fest has lots of great musical programming and works from Tennessee talent. We’ve combed through the whole schedule, and while there are plenty of great national features that caught our eye (Mad Bills to Pay, Cactus Pears, Peacock, The Python Hunt, Slanted, John Candy: I Like Me, The Lost Bus, Boundary Waters, Idiotka, By Design, Hedda), we wanted to give you a rundown of the 19 music documentaries and features, and works from local and regional directors on the schedule!
As of writing, tickets are still available for nearly every film on this list, and can be purchased from the fest’s site (where you’ll also find a more comprehensive schedule) for $18 each. The site is also where you can buy budges, with options like full festival access, creators conference only (no screenings, just panels, mixers, and networking events), or a film-only badge which nets you a slight discount if you plan to see a lot of screenings- find all of those options here. As mentioned, several screenings include Q&As from filmmakers and artists (we’ve marked where applicable), and the bulk of the festival will be hosted at Regal Green Hills, with closing day screenings at The Belcourt Theatre, and a couple of special events at SoHo House, Riverside Revival, and the CMA Theater. The Creators Conference panels and events (which include some topics related to music too, like “Ethics & Innovation: AI at the Crossroads of Creativity”) will be held at the Hilton Green Hills (and require the appropriate badge), and a few other parties and events for badge holders are being held across town. Finally, a select number of features and most of the festival’s shorts will be available for at-home rental as well, for one week beginning Monday, Sept. 22- head here for more.
Below, check out our rundown of 19 selections, ranging from music documentaries to local and regional features, docs, and shorts, to one epic closing night musical- just a taste of the great programming at this year’s Nashville Film Festival- and keep scrolling for a full list of screenings at this year’s fest!
MAN ON THE RUN
Thursday, Sept. 18 | 6pm | Regal Green Hills
“MAN ON THE RUN takes viewers on an intimate journey through Paul McCartney’s extraordinary life following the breakup of The Beatles and the formation of Wings with his wife, Linda. From Academy Award®-winning director Morgan Neville, the film chronicles the arc of McCartney’s solo career as he faces down a myriad of challenges while creating new music to define a new decade. Through unprecedented access to previously unseen footage and rare archival materials, the documentary captures Paul’s transformative post-Beatles era through a uniquely vulnerable lens.”

LOUDER THAN GUNS
Friday, Sept. 19 | 12pm | Regal Green Hills
“Motivated by a tragic school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, Ketch Secor, of the popular bluegrass band Old Crow Medicine Show, and radio journalist David Greene (host of public radio’s “Left, Right, and Center”) set out to have an open conversation about gun violence in America. The result is a music documentary which humanizes all sides of today’s gun debate: rural, urban, gun-owners and non, and shows how respect and listening can help move the needle on gun reform in ways our polarized culture rarely displays.”
Q&A following screening
THE FLAMENCO GUITAR OF YERAI CORTÉS
Friday, Sept. 19 | 2pm | Regal Green Hills
“The story unfolds through Yerai Cortés, a rising star in Spain’s flamenco scene. Anton Álvarez (aka C. Tangana) met him at a party, where Cortés played guitar for Montse Cortés under the Starlight satellites. Known for his refined, unique style, Cortés’ life is marked by a dark family secret and a sorrow he longs to share with the world.”
CREATIVETS
Friday, Sept. 19 | 2pm | Regal Green Hills
“A combat veteran finds healing through art after the loss of a fellow service member, leading to the establishment of CreatiVets, an organization that offers transformative experiences in the arts to veterans.”
Dir. Nick Nanton will be in attendance for a Q&A

MATTER OF TIME
Friday, Sept. 19 | 6:30pm | Regal Green Hills
& Monday, Sep. 22 | 5pm | Regal Green Hills
“Matter of Time follows Eddie Vedder and a passionate community uniting to cure a rare disease, blending emotional patient stories, breakthrough science, and the power of music to drive real change.”
Director Matt Finlin will be in attendance for a Q&A post-screening 9/19
FUCKTOYS
Friday, Sept. 19 | 8pm | Regal Green Hills
& Monday, Sept. 22 | 2pm | Regal Green Hills
“A lush 16mm fever dream that reimagines The Fool’s Journey of the Major Arcana of the Tarot through the story of AP—a rosy young woman seeking salvation from a curse. She is promised by not just one, but multiple psychics, that it can be lifted for a cool $1000 and a simple teeny tiny sacrifice of a baby lamb. So she makes money the only way she knows how: scootering her way deeper into the night, and into the uncouth underbelly of Trashtown. In this irreverent and sexy dark comedy, AP collides with a series of larger-than-life characters and absurd situations—each more unhinged than the last—as she winds her way towards the inevitable. F*cktoys is a campy romp that explores the intersection of intimacy, exploitation, and class in a pre-millenium alternate universe; a rich collage of humid industrial landscapes and pastel cotton candy skies.”
Writer, director, and star, Nashville-raised Annapurna Sriram, will be in attendance for a Q&A 9/19

OPRYLAND USA: A CIRCLE BROKEN
Saturday, Sept. 20 | 2pm | Regal Green Hills (SOLD OUT)
& Monday, Sept. 22 | 1:30pm | Regal Green Hills
& Wednesday, Sept. 24 | 3pm | The Belcourt
“The unexpected closure of Opryland USA in 1997 remains one of Nashville’s greatest losses. The public was promised that part of the park would remain intact — it didn’t. For 25 years, Opryland was the cultural centerpiece of the city. The community is still asking: “Why was Opryland closed and replaced with a mall?””
Q&A following 9/20 screening
THE EASY KIND
Saturday, Sept. 20 | 5pm | Regal Green Hills
& Monday, Sept. 22 | 7pm | Riverside Revival
“When Elizabeth Cook first emerged on the country scene, she was plucked up by the Nashville establishment, briefly paraded around as the latest sweet young thing, and quickly cast aside when she refused to fit neatly into a marketable box. In THE EASY KIND, Cook plays a fictionalized version of herself named EC: a renegade singer/songwriter steadfast in her own skin while navigating the personal and professional complexities of midlife. She’s breaking new ground musically—even if the powers that be still can’t see how to monetize her magnetic, hard-scrabble talent. As she frees herself from the trappings that have held her back—money troubles, family tragedies, and ex-lovers—she forges a path for herself to be able to make music on her own terms. This genre-bending debut narrative feature from acclaimed veteran filmmaker Katy Chevigny is a captivating look at an artist that’s as vulnerable and soulful as she is irrefutably ballsy.”
Q&A following 9/20 screening. Audiences will enjoy an exclusive musical performance, featuring Charles Esten (“Nashville”,” Outer Banks”), following the 9/22 screening
COUNTING CROWS: HAVE YOU SEEN ME LATELY?
Saturday, Sept. 20 | 5pm | Regal Green Hills
“Catapulted into overnight fame by their massively successful debut album, San Francisco indie rock band Counting Crows and their introspective frontman Adam Duritz were suddenly the biggest rockstars in the world, defiantly facing whatever came next. Counting Crows: Have You Seen Me Lately? captures this pivotal crossroads through revealing interviews and evocative 1990’s archival to craft a rare story of artistic integrity in the spotlight. An HBO Documentary Films Release.”
THE OTHER PEOPLE
Saturday, Sept. 20 | 8:30pm | Regal Green Hills
& Tuesday, Sept. 23 | 8pm | Regal Green Hills
“In a town plagued with sudden deaths and missing persons, Rachel (Greenwood) meets and quickly marries grieving single dad William (Johnson), and the two set out to provide a stable, comfortable life for his troubled eight-year-old daughter Abby (Lucido). When Abby makes friends with a boy that lives in the hidden corners of their new home, she learns why things that live in the dark don’t want to be seen. As Rachel strives to understand and face the terror that grips Abby, William becomes more self-involved. Losing sleep, fighting to save her marriage and her step-daughter, Rachel grows increasingly suspicious of the strange noises and ghoulish shadows scratching at the edges of her sanity. Faced with unspeakable tragedy, Rachel has no choice but to press beyond what she can bear if they have any hope to survive.”

SUN RA: DO THE IMPOSSIBLE
Sunday, Sept. 21 | 1pm | Regal Green Hills
“Poet, Egyptologist, cosmologist, historian, activist, bandleader, musician…jazz pioneer Sun Ra was all of these. In this illuminating biography, Christine Turner takes us on a complex journey through the life of a complex man who either was born in Birmingham, Alabama, sent from Saturn, or both. With his band, the Arkestra, he extended the boundaries of free-form jazz, put his own mark on the standards, and pursued forays into electronic music, yet could be just as inspired to riff on ‘Over the Rainbow.’ His musical mission was also rooted as an agent toward advancing Afrofuturism, mixing interstellar metaphors (‘space is the place’) and his own scientific explanations (‘transmolecularization’) with the state of Black life in America.
Turner gracefully balances recollections from the Arkestra’s devout, still-in-awe band members and dancers, comments from big-fan historians, scholars and other musicians, and the musings of Sun Ra himself with unforgettable performance footage and scenes from a self-produced film to paint a portrait — informative, enriching, and at times mind-blowing — of a man who was as much a visionary as a he was a musician.”
FINDING LUCINDA
Sunday, Sept. 21 | 2pm | Regal Green Hills
“In search of an artistic path, aspiring singer/songwriter Avery Hellman (ISMAY) embarks on a road trip across the southern United States collecting the stories of poetic influence that forged the journey to stardom of legendary, 3-time Grammy winner, Lucinda Williams. The film highlights the discovery of never-before-heard recordings from Lucinda’s early years and showcases interviews with Charlie Sexton, Buddy Miller, Mary Gauthier, Max and Josh Baca, John Grimaudo, Wolf Stephenson, Ray Kennedy and ultimately Lucinda Williams herself. Weaving conversations with archival footage, the film offers a unique visual perspective to the profound impact Williams has on music and how her voice continues to resonate today. “Finding Lucinda” is a mesmerizing exploration of artistry and the power of music…beckoning audiences to embrace their own creative pursuits and find solace on the road of self-discovery.”
UNASHAMED
Sunday, Sept. 21 | 3pm | Regal Green Hills
& Tuesday, Sept. 23 | 1:30pm | Regal Green Hills
“Unashamed is the story of Lecrae and The 116 Clique, a group of unlikely rappers who broke the mold of hip hop culture and sparked a movement. At a time when Christianity and rap were seen as incompatible, their infectious sound and unabashedly Christian message sold out shows, topped charts, and won Grammys. Yet no one knows who they are. Unashamed is the story of a pilgrimage to find peace and acceptance, and birthed an entirely new genre of music, while navigating the tumultuous worlds of hip hop and the culture wars.”

YOU GOT GOLD: A CELEBRATION OF JOHN PRINE
Sunday, Sept. 21 | 4:30pm | Regal Green Hills (SOLD OUT)
“This concert film was shot in October, 2022, over two nights at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN. More than 70 artists gathered with family, the Nashville community, and music fans to remember and pay tribute to the life and songs of John Prine.”
Q&A following screening
I WAS BORN THIS WAY
Sunday, Sept. 21 | 7:30pm | Regal Green Hills
“Surviving the oppression of racism, homophobia, and childhood trauma, Carl Bean found his voice through song as a gospel singer in the New York Gospel scene, and then through his 1974 album, Universal Love.
But it was his singing of the 1977 disco hit “I Was Born This Way” that would earn him fame; the song was celebrated as the world’s first gay anthem.
However, Bean eschewed a mainstream music career…instead choosing a vocation in activism. He started the Minority AIDS Project — serving a vital role for underserved populations during he AIDS Crisis. And he founded Unity Fellowship Church — the first LGBTQ+ church people of color.
Using innovative rotoscope animation and featuring appearances by Lady Gaga, Questlove, Billy Porter, and Dionne Warwick, I WAS BORN THIS WAY is a feature-length documentary exploring the life and legacy of Bean and his resounding message “’ove is for everyone.’”
Director Daniel Junge will be in attendance for a Q&A

KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN
Wednesday, Sept. 24 | 6pm | The Belcourt
“Dreamgirls and Beauty and the Beast director Bill Condon returns to the movie musical in this dazzling Technicolor-hued fantasy. Valentín (Diego Luna), a political prisoner, shares a cell with Molina (Tonatiuh), a window dresser convicted of public indecency. The two form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts the plot of a Hollywood musical starring his favorite silver screen diva, Ingrid Luna (Jennifer Lopez). Based on the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical hit.”
The film’s lead Tonatiuh will be in attendance to receive the Rising Star Award and participate in a special Q&A after the screening
