Our 2025 Mount Gretna International Film Festival is dedicated to the memory of Steve Kreamer and Evan Michael Deitzler, whose lives and love for the arts continue to inspire our community.
The Mount Gretna International Film Festival honors the life of Michael Evan Deitzler by celebrating storytelling through independent short films submitted from around the world. Set in the artistic community of Mount Gretna, PA, the festival takes place during the same weekend as the beloved Mount Gretna Art Show giving visitors the perfect opportunity to experience both events. It’s a weekend full of creativity, culture, and scenic beauty, where guests can explore the art show by day and enjoy inspiring films by night.
