FESTIVUS Film Festival

Festivus Film Festival, 
a 501(c)3 non-profit organization based in Denver, Colorado. 


Our organization began in 2007 as a response to what we saw as an independent film vacuum in Denver. Our humble, yet promising Festivus Film Festival 2008 was our first attempt to fill that vacuum. After rave reviews we decided we were on to something. Fast forward to the present, and we’re now in the planning stages of Festivus Film Festival 2012, our 5-year anniversary! After being named one of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the US by Moviemaker Magazine, our 2011 fest was our biggest yet. Coverage from virtually every major media outlet in Denver, dedicated and passionate volunteers, edgy high-quality programming, and an exciting and fresh brand has made us one of the hottest young festivals in North America. Festivus Film Festival is the can’t miss event where you can see great new indie flicks, meet talented up-and-coming filmmakers, and party like it’s the last day on earth.


Every fall we accept film submissions for our January festival, where we showcase high quality, unique independent films for the greater Denver audience. We are interested in bringing student films to our lineup, and would like to promote our organization within classes on your campus regarding film submissions. This will be an excellent opportunity for your students to learn the submission process, and we will be offering discounted submission rates as well.
