Join us for four days of film, conversation, and celebration in Historic Downtown Bozeman, Montana.
The Bozeman Film Festival is not just a place to see cutting-edge films. We emphasize our community's sense of place and create opportunities for filmmakers, new and experienced alike, to learn and to spark dialogue about film and art.
From October 8-11, 2026, Bozeman Film Festival will light up downtown with a powerful lineup of film, conversation, and community.
Screenings unfold across three unique Bozeman venues—the Ellen Theatre, the Rialto, and the Armory Tune Up —each just steps from Bozeman’s vibrant Main Street cafés, galleries, and shops.

BFF is also thrilled to announce the Emerging Filmmakers Program in partnership with Media Mavericks, an inspiring new initiative from Montana PBS Education, to feature submissions from high school students around the state.
