Each September, filmmakers from around the world travel to Estes Park to showcase their newest independent feature films, documentaries, and short films. In addition to showings at the Park Theatre, suspense and horror films will screen at the Historic Stanley Hotel, famous for its inspirational role in Stephen King's book & film, "The Shining."

Student films will also screen at the Lake Shore Lodge as part of the festival’s Student Filmmaker Showcase. The complete schedule of films, parties, and seminars will be available on the festival website starting the first week of August.
