Harpers Ferry Center Film Festival: A Celebration of 50 Years of Filmmaking for National Parks

Harpers Ferry, West Virginia – It has been 50 years since the National Park Service made the profound and visionary decision to place all media-related functions and personnel together under one roof. Since 1970, the Harpers Ferry Center for Media Services (HFC) has helped create a deeper meaning and connection to our nation’s treasured stories and lands.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Harpers Ferry Center, our producers have curated a selection of films that explore the abundant natural resources and rich cultural heritage of our National Parks. All of these films were produced by HFC staff and contractors for NPS sites across the country, and many have never before been available online. We'll release a new batch of films every two weeks throughout the summer beginning on Friday, June 12th. We also will be hosting several live Q&A sessions where you'll get a chance to chat with filmmakers, park staff, and subject matter experts. We invite you to join the conversation, or just grab some popcorn and enjoy an epic summer road trip from the comfort of home.

A complete list of our events can be found on our website at www.nps.gov/hfc or on our social media feeds on Instagram and Facebook. Let us hear from you at #HFC50th!
