The International Wildlife Film Festival is the premier film venue that celebrates wildlife and natural history programming from a global perspective. Our focus is on media and conservation.

As an international film and conservation symposium for filmmakers, broadcasters, scientists, conservation leaders, educators, students and others, IWFF provides a unique opportunity for the sharing of ideas and the development of proactive projects that impact what happens to our planet.

IWFF is also a unique opportunity to engage public audiences, to learn about trends in filmmaking - technology, cinematography and wildlife production as well as to participate in dynamic seminars and workshops that focus on wildlife, conservation and the natural world.

IWFF is also a major community event and celebration where over 10,000 film enthusiasts and 5,000 area youth attend film screenings and public discussions with filmmakers and where filmmakers have the rare opportunity to watch audience reactions to their films.

The International Wildlife Film Festival is both a Filmmaker's Festival, as one of the most important wildlife film events in the world and a Community festival for Missoula and all of Montana. "The Filmmakers' Festival," often called the Sundance of the wildlife film genre, is known worldwide for its welcoming atmosphere, as a learning and networking opportunity for filmmakers, and for providing a venue that enables conservation and film projects to flourish in an intimate and creative environment.
