Back for its 23rd year in 2025, the Vail Film Festival is excellent for those who love independent films held in winter wonderlands. Hobnob with the rich and famous. See spell-binding films from around the world, enter your screenplay into a contest judged by Hollywood execs, and vote for your favorite flick to win the Audience Award.
Don’t miss the second-to-none panel discussions, filmmaker reception, nightly galas, and, best of all, celebrity sightings and photo ops. Past attendees have included Kate Bosworth, Kevin Smith, Allison Janney, Zach Braff, and Olivia Wilde. The Vail Film Festival is from Thursday to Sunday, December 4th to 7th, 2025.
