5Point Film Festival

About

5Point Film produces a 4-day Flagship Festival in Carbondale, CO at the end of each April. This 8-year-old event showcases inspiring adventure films intertwined with surprise guests, art performances, and eclectic events. We screen more than 50 films during the festival and hosts dozens of filmmakers and athletes from around the world, creating an inclusive gathering of our outdoor and creative communities. In addition to film programs, the Flagship Festival includes live recordings of podcasts, panel discussions, spoken word and dance performances, book signings, family activities, and live art demonstrations.

After the Flagship event, 5Point hits the road and works with event producers around the country to bring 5Point to their communities with a one-night showcase of our best films. 

As an adventure film festival, our core films tell stories within the backdrop of biking, skiing, surfing, kayaking, climbing, and other adventure sports, but we’re not afraid to step out of these constraints if a film deeply embodies our five guiding principles: respect, commitment, humility, purpose and balance. We’re more interested in the human element and the story than seeing someone huck themselves off a cliff repeatedly. If it inspires adventure of any sort, we dig it.
