Since 2014, FILMFORT has been showcasing the very best in independent cinema. Send us your latest work and come kick it in BOISE, IDAHO — MARCH 20-24, 2024!
We love all kinds of films, but if you dig through our archives you’ll notice we gravitate toward fiction and nonfiction films that push the boundaries of form and genre. Stylistically, our selections cover the gamut: polished, gritty, ethereal or DIY. All fair game. Make us laugh, cry, feel squeamish, get pissed... MAKE US FEEL THINGS!
.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Filmfort does not accept, screen, preview, and/or program films that have been playing festivals for more than one year. Once in a blue moon we will make exceptions...We recommend emailing us first. Branded documentaries and/or tourism videos are ineligible and if submitted will not be screened, nor will they receive a refund. Films that have already screened in the greater Boise area (including Nampa, Garden City, Eagle, etc.) are in ineligible. Please be mindful of our festival dates and ***READ THE RULES & TERMS BELOW*** before submitting.
Lastly, please note that by submitting your films here they might also be considered and/or included in our radical screening series: MICRODOSE.

"There is a different category of festival that Treefort Music Fest in Boise falls into. It’s the type that takes over a whole town, utilizing every venue space it can find to book bands both big and small."
— CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND
"In Boise, there’s a club you want to belong to. It’s a club that loves music and the all of the arts, celebrates the Pacific Northwest homegrown passion and gathers each year for Treefort Music Fest."
