CRESTED BUTTE FILM FESTIVAL WELCOME WITH JENNIFER SFALCIN
Festival Director Jennifer Sfalcin welcomes you to the 2020 Crested Butte Film Festival
A FRAGMENTED QUARANTINE DREAM
A night in the life of Quarantine 2020 was captured. A tiny destination ski town, nestled in mountains had completely shut down. All businesses closed; the streets sat empty. During this initial stage of global pandemic, much was unknown. There is a bittersweet feeling of delight and fantastical sense of disbelief. In this suspended reality, I danced.

Join the Live Panel Discussion and Audience Q&A Here


At Crested Butte Film Festival we believe that film can change lives. Every year we strive to create opportunities for participants to learn and have the opportunity to act during the festival. To accompany our panel “An Unusual Route: Dialogues Around Systemic Representations” and the films exploring race in America, we’ve developed a list of resources to support your journey toward anti-racism. This is not comprehensive by any means, but we hope this helps.

AUGUST


In a small North Carolina mountain town, a young boy wrestles with the anger and uncertainty of growing up with an emotionally and physically volatile parent. Tensions come to a head when an altercation between his mother and her boyfriend turns violent.
