The Nederland International Film Festival is held at the Backdoor Theatre in Nederland Colorado, focusing on the out of the ordinary and dramatically different films that you will not find at the standard Hollywood CinemaScope. We carefully curate a full program of films that make a statement and have a story to tell; past, present & out there in the future.

We celebrate the visionaries of film centered around music in this special place, the independent thinkers, creatives, individualists that explore alternative cultures, life styles and visions and all the many ways that can manifest in film. We look forward to seeing you at our 5th Annual Nederland International Film Festival.
