Join Us: 2024 Breck Film Fest from September 19 - 22, 2024
The Story of a Historical High Country Non-Profit
Over the past 42 years, Breckenridge Festival of Film evolved into Breck Film, a prominent high country non-profit with a mission to educate, entertain, and inspire through film.. From 2019 to 2022, Breck Film and Breckenridge Film Festival experienced a dynamic period of growth. This exciting phase of our growth was defined by internal restructuring, leadership changes, and the successful acquisition of operations at our beloved local art-house theater, The Eclipse. Having finally found a home of our own, this milestone highlights our commitment to the community Additionally, our outreach programs remain as a guiding light, particularly through our impactful student film programs.

Our Mission
Breck Film curates unique, year-round film experiences that entertain and enrich the lives in our mountain community.
Our Vision
Breck Film will be the premier source of film experiences in Summit County and the surrounding region.
Film as a Foundation for Summit County's Community: Diversity in the Film Industry
For us, film serves as a foundation for community; a way to bring people together from different demographics and belief systems. The festival screened blockbusters like “The Shawshank Redemption,” “L.A. Confidential,” and “Kung Fu Panda”, bringing thousands of people together through film, and in 2020 Breck Film leveled up!
Breck Film has amped its Outreach and Education programs to drive conversations around racial inequality and inclusivity. In 2020, we ran a “What We’re Watching Campaign” that highlighted films about racism, social justice, and civil rights every Thursday on Instagram. Moreover, we supported our first Solidarity Nation event at which community leaders and residents discussed what Black Lives Matter means to them.
We expanded our reach across Summit County and began offering films in both English and Spanish to better connect with our prominent LatinX community.

“Love this festival. It has a fantastic reputation and it's well deserved."
"Industry insiders and distributors really respect this festival. Very strong program of films. Warm and friendly staff and volunteers. Wonderful location. Really fun parties and social gatherings to socialize with other filmmakers. They also assist with lodging expenses. It’s been going for 36 years for good reason. One of my best festival experiences by far. I hope to be lucky enough to go back again!"
