About Breck Film

The Story of a Historical High Country Non-Profit

Over the past 44 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.

In 2021 Breck Film experienced a dynamic period of growth defined by internal restructuring, leadership changes, and the successful acquisition of operations at our beloved local art-house theater, The Eclipse.

Besides our annual fall film festival in Breckenridge and our ongoing movie programming at The Eclipse, we host a variety of special local events, including monthly film society screenings, education programs, non-profit partner events, and so much more!

We are committed to enriching our community, fostering diversity, and expanding arts and film in the high country.

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.

For the past 44 years, we have brought global premieres, leading filmmakers, and independent cinema to Breckenridge. Often called the "filmmakers festival" we pride ourselves on advancing the careers of filmmakers through a world-class festival experience and drawing in audiences from all over the country.

Stay tuned for our 2025 Breck Film Festival Dates.

HOYT RICHARDS, FILMMAKER

“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!"
