Why have a film festival in Ouray, Colorado?

We believe Ouray, Colorado, makes for an excellent film festival location. The stunning natural scenery provides a picturesque backdrop for screenings and events. The charming Victorian architecture and the surrounding mountains create a unique and visually appealing atmosphere that enhances the movie-going experience. We are especially proud to call the historic Wright Opera House our primary venue.

The town's small size fosters an intimate and community-oriented feel, making it easier for filmmakers, industry professionals, and attendees to connect and engage with each other. This sense of intimacy leads to more meaningful interactions. Moreover, the town's distinct character and relatively secluded location also add a sense of adventure and exploration for attendees. When not watching movies, find yourself on the accessible and scenic Perimeter Trail or soaking in the natural hot springs.

Ultimately, the combination of natural beauty, a tight-knit community, and a unique atmosphere makes Ouray, Colorado, a great choice for hosting a film festival. Come and see for yourself!
