The Sun Valley Film Festival has changed dates! To highlight the best films of awards season, the festival will now take place in early December, just before Academy Award shortlist voting starts.
Don’t miss the event that Variety says “is a perfect confluence of everything one could possibly want in a celebration of cinema: compelling, thought-provoking movies, a snowy resort town filled with pristine ski runs, and whiskey-soaked saloons redolent of the Wild West. Add to that a relaxed crowd of Hollywood players, Idaho locals, and an eclectic batch of writers, directors, and cineastes.”
The Annual Sun Valley Film Festival will take place on December 5th to 8th, 2025. With a mission to empower independent filmmakers to share the stories that inspire change, SVFF is where storytellers from around the world come together to bring their vision into focus. This spring, filmmakers and film fans gather to celebrate the art of filmmaking with a curated slate of cutting-edge films, engaging Coffee Talks with top industry insiders, fabulous parties and panels, labs and workshops led by award-winning filmmakers, and the spectacular SVFF Awards Bash. The combination of cutting-edge programming and bona-fide insider access in a fun, relaxed atmosphere is making the Sun Valley Film Festival a rising star in the world of destination festivals.
