✨🧚‍♀️ Every film festival needs a little magic!

During the festival, one of our amazing team members traded in her festival gear for a little Film Fairy magic! 🎬🧚‍♀️

We love the fun, creativity, and personality our team brings to MTGIFF. You never know what kind of movie magic you’ll find around the festival! ❤️🎥

Our workshops with our incredible Guest Artists were such a special part of MTGIFF! We loved seeing filmmakers, film lovers, and members of our community come together to learn, share ideas, and dive deeper into the world of independent film.

A huge thank you to our Guest Artists for sharing their knowledge, experience, and passion with us. We hope everyone who attended walked away inspired! ❤️🎥
