Congratulations to our nominees & winners at the 9th annual ​Grand Motoring Film Festival presented by ​Hilton Head Capital Partners.

2025 Grand Motoring Film Festival Heads Back to the Future
Cinema’s most iconic DeLorean headlines a red carpet evening of automotive films with world premieres and award winners.

The 2025 Grand Motoring Film Festival is kicking off the Hilton Head Island Concours d’Elegance weekend with another banner lineup of automotive and cinematic works of art.  Combining static displays of some of the most iconic cars in cinema, and award-winning independent films from around the world, this year’s lineup promises a night of big screen excitement and inspiration at the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina.  

It all begins with a classic Hollywood-style red carpet reception with elevated food and cocktails served amid static displays of collector cars and cinematic vehicles, including the rare and iconic film-accurate DeLorean Time Machine.

Along with the selection of short films, including the WORLD PREMIERE of "RETURN OF THE CHAMP",  starring IndyCar driver Will Power and his brother Damien, who also directs the film, which reveals both the heavy psychological toll and sheer exhilaration professional drivers experience, the evening will feature a juried awards show recognizing the year’s top car culture films and a headliner film that celebrates the intersection of the automotive and cinema culture.
