The Charles B. Pierce Film Festival is held in one of the most unique communities in the nation - Texarkana, USA. Home for many years to Charles B. Pierce, and the setting for two of his most famous films, Texarkana will now play host each year to a multi-genre film and video festival to honor and commemorate Pierce's work as an independent filmmaker, and to give aspiring, as well as accomplished filmmakers from every generation a place to showcase their works. The Festival will take place each year on the weekend closest to June 16, the date of Charles' birth.
