Hip Hop Film Festival Tickets

The Hip Hop Film Festival (HHFF) spotlights the creators behind the music: producers, directors, writers, and other visionary minds shaping hip-hop culture. Founded in 2015 by CR Capers, CEO of Harlem Film House, HHFF broke new ground as the first festival dedicated to the people who craft hip-hop’s stories beyond music videos and performances. From lively Master Cyphers featuring industry luminaries to screenings that showcase groundbreaking work, HHFF has become an essential stop for fans and industry alike in New York City and beyond.

HHFF maintains a strong NYC footprint with events at iconic venues, including the Apollo Theater’s Victoria venue in 2024, and ongoing activity through Harlem-focused programs and international initiatives like HHFF Asia tours. The festival’s mission is clear: celebrate creativity, forge connections, and provide access to the people driving hip-hop’s cinematic narrative. With an inclusive, insider-friendly approach, HHFF helps fans secure access to screenings, discussions, and Master Cyphers—making it easy to engage with the culture you love.
