Submission Details

MTFF accepts both feature films and shorts in the following categories: narrative, documentary, animation, and experimental. Please note that we are only interested in documentaries if 1) they possess a strong connection to Montana or the American West and 2) they function primarily as works of art, rather than reportage, with an aim to entertain rather than inform.

We are looking for vibrant, unforgettable, one-of-a-kind films, films which are extraordinary after one viewing and even better after the second, films which expand the possibility of the art form.

MTFF gives priority to films with strong ties to Montana, whether that connection is through key cast and crew, shooting locations, or a thematic focus on life in the contemporary West. We are eager to showcase the vitality of filmmaking in our state, and to give Montana-made films the audience they deserve. Please email our team to explain your connection to the state and include a few details about your film.
