Whether your work is sublime, beautiful, narrative, abstract, funny, terrifiying or just wonderfully weird; the Pueblo Film Fest invites artists to present films of all kinds to be screened for our inaugural event.

This year the fest is held in downtown Pueblo Colorado. Home of heroes, fire roasted chilies, and for three days April 26-28th, 2024 the best damn film fest we know how to present.

We intend to pull the curtain back on the Pueblo art scene and celebrate the full potential of filmmakers from all over the planet who create amazing experiences through endless hours of determined grit and shear love for storytelling.
