2025 Mount Gretna International Film Festival
Inspired by Michael Evan Deitzler
Submissions now open!
The MtGIFF Team is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Stephen Kreamer, husband, father and brother in law of three of our hard working committee members.
Our heart goes out to the entire Kreamer family and Steve’s many friends and colleagues as they grieve his loss.

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.
