The Chattanooga Film Festival originated in February 2009 as a film club in
Chattanooga, Tennessee known as Mise En Scenesters. The organizers of the club launched a
Halloween event known as the Frightening Ass Film Festival, which led to the creation of the Chattanooga Film Festival. In a joint initiative with the Canadian company Media Darling, the Chattanooga Film Festival founded the Good Film Fund as a means of supporting the production and promotion of films. As a result of the
COVID-19 pandemic, the 7th, 8th, and 9th annual Chattanooga Film Festival events took place online as a
virtual event. == See also ==
