Baltimore Public Media logoBaltimore Public Media Wednesday announced the return and expansion of its New/Next Film Festival, a celebration of emerging film culture that will take place Oct. 3-6 at The Charles Theatre in Baltimore.

The 2024 festival, which also launched its call for entries, will expand to four days to feature more films and visiting filmmakers. 

New/Next, initially conceived as a reaction to the announcement that the Maryland Film Festival would not have a 2023 festival, drew roughly 3,000 attendees over three days during its inaugural festival Aug. 18-20, 2023.

Its lineup featured diverse film work of international scope alongside new and repertory work from the Baltimore film scene; more than half of the films screened were directed by women or non-binary creators, and more than half had ties to Baltimore and Maryland.
