The EQUUS Film & Arts Fest is the world’s premier showcase for domestic and International equestrian content feature films, documentaries, shorts, music videos, commercials, training, educational materials, art & literature.
Welcome to the EQUUS Film & Arts Fest. Every horse has a story, it’s our mission at the EQUUS Film & Arts Fest to share those stories, through film, podcast, live stream, art, and literature.
The only criterion for each title is that it captures the elements or essence of the horse, the horse industry at large, and/or all that surrounds the horse.
The EQUUS Film & Arts Fest strives to serve the interests and needs of equine filmmakers, artists, podcasters, live streamers, bloggers, and authors, connecting artists with audiences, exhibiting and promoting new films and filmmaking talent and equine art, nurturing a creative community by facilitating relationships that last well beyond each year’s festival. We curate for quality, not quantity.
The EQUUS Film & Arts Fest is held in a world-class destination. If your work is selected, we would expect you to attend and present your work, if you are able, to the horse lovers who live in and/or are visiting. You can expect first-rate hospitality, appreciative audiences, networking events, awards, and the opportunity to explore Sacramento and the beautiful wine country of Napa Valley and the surrounding areas in California.
