2025 Festival Schedule
Our film festival accepts submissions from filmmakers both in Colorado and around the world. Selected films will be showcased on-site during the festival and compete for awards such as best in their category and the Audience Choice Award. This year, we're excited to once again showcase live music, networking opportunities, and thought-provoking discussion panels, creating an experience that filmmakers and attendees won't want to miss.
We are looking forward to hosting this year's event and hope you will consider joining us.
