Gettysburg Film Festival

The Gettysburg Film Festival returns May 8-11, 2025, focusing on the legacy of World War II. Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns will open the festival on Thursday, May 8th, marking the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe (V-E) Day. Special guests include Martin Sheen, Anna Deavere Smith, Robert Edsel, Susan Eisenhower, Stephen Lang, and more.

In the heart of Gettysburg, where Lincoln vowed that democracy “shall not perish from the earth” and Eisenhower returned from war to find a home, we’ll come together to share stories of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring fight for freedom.
