The Wyoming Film Festival is a unique venue for the community to come together as filmmakers, film lovers, volunteers, corporations, and other organizations from across the state and beyond to celebrate the valuable contribution that film makes to our cultural and economic lives.  Our plan is to present film and video productions that interpret the past, present, and future of the American West in way that embrace the festival themes of environment, equality, and family.

The Wyoming Film Festival is held in the Platte Valley Community Center in Saratoga, Wyoming.  For an inside look at this venue, go to www.pvcenter.org or click on the PVCC entrance photo below.

The 2009 Wyoming Film Festival schedule is still being planned, but so far highlights include:

Stay tuned to updates to the 2009 schedule!
