Vail Film Festival

The Vail Film Festival is an independent film festival that has taken place annually in Vail, Colorado since 2004. The 22nd annual Vail Film Festival will likely take place in December 4-7 2025.

The festival was founded by Sean Cross and Scott Cross. The Cross brothers serve as co-executive directors of the festival, with Corinne Hara serving as festival director since 2018. The festival is produced by the Colorado Film Institute, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting independent film.

The Vail Film Festival partnered with the European Independent Film Festival (ÉCU) for their 2026 editions. This collaboration aims to spotlight independent cinema, strengthen transatlantic artistic exchange, and deepen the creative bridge between French and American filmmaking communities, and promote French film and French and Francophile filmmakers to North America. The Vail Film Festival will also launch a French and Francophone Screenplay Competition, open exclusively to writers from France and the Francophone world. The initiative is designed to support the creation of new French and Francophone works and to strengthen transatlantic artistic exchange by promoting emerging French voices in screenwriting.

The Vail Film Festival is the sister festival of the Los Cabos International Film Festival, also co-founded by Scott Cross, and Sean Cross.
