The Montana Film Festival (MTFF) is an annual autumn event in Missoula that showcases independent narrative films, animation, and experimental works from around the world, with a special emphasis on Montana-made filmmakers and stories from the American West. Notable for screening titles months before wide release and hosting emergent talents from major international festivals, it serves as the premiere annual cinematic event for Montana cinephiles. The festival distinguishes itself by blending global independent cinema with local Western voices, featuring four days of screenings, talk-backs, and community events at the historic Roxy Theater.
