Festival Kickoff Party

from $0.00

Help us kick off our 10th year of Defy with our first-ever Festival Kickoff Party on Thursday, August 21st, at the Center615 Main Street Gallery. We are putting together a retrospective screening of festival faves from the past ten years, and we will be presenting a special performance by friend-of-the-Fest Sarah Saturday (Gardening, Not Architecture) of her 2023 multimedia one woman musical, Voyage: A Live Visual Album, featuring an original score set to several short films directed by Defy's own Dycee Wildman.

All Defy pass holders (Weekend or Day) get FREE entry into this amazing night of art, music, and film! If you have a pass, please reserve your spot at the event by selecting “I have purchased a Defy Pass already!” as your ticket type.

Individual tickets to the kickoff party are $15 each.

Box office pickup: The kickoff party will also act as our box office pickup window the night before the festival. Stop by the kickoff party between 6pm-10pm to pick up your tickets for the weekend, and skip the line at the fest!

Our Mission

Defy Film Festival is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization formed in 2016 with the goal of bringing bold and extraordinary cinematic work from around the world to East Nashville. The festival celebrates unconventional films made by filmmakers who want to defy traditions and expectations. The festival is driven by the desire to bring unknown talent from around the world to Nashville audiences that are looking for a unique cinematic experience. Defy puts the work and the artist above all else. All great art is a disruption. You can support Defy with a one-time or recurring donation, and help us continue bringing defiant films from all over the world to Nashville.
