ABOUT US
THE BOZEMAN FILM SOCIETY BRINGS OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER BY SCREENING POWERFUL INDEPENDENT FILMS IN THE CORE OF DOWNTOWN.
Since 1978, we’ve rallied behind the idea that independent film quickly disperses new ideas, fresh perspectives, culture and art wherever it’s shown and shared. A 501(c)3 non-profit, Bozeman Film Festival, Inc. dba Bozeman Film Society, is deeply grateful for the support we’ve received over the decades, and exhilarated to continue expanding in the future.
