ABOUT THE FEST //

Lookout Mountain is an iconic part of the skyline from most anywhere in Chattanooga. We like to think the mountain reminds us to look out at the world around us. To look outside our daily routine for joy and adventure. And to look out for the natural environment that’s threatened. Those things make the foundation of the Lookout Wild Film Festival.

“When you think about the very short list of things that are the most Chattanooga thing ever, this is right at the top. it’s really the soul of what Chattanooga is.”

~Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly, 2023
