Crested Butte Film Festival

Crested Butte Film Festival (CBFF) is a Colorado-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts organization (EIN 84-2999875) that programs an internationally focused annual film festival and year‑round film programming in the mountain town of Crested Butte. The festival emphasizes high-quality storytelling, filmmaker engagement, and films that provoke conversation and social action.

Founded in the 2010s and operating as a tax-exempt public charity, CBFF has grown into an influential regional festival with curated features, shorts, children's and outdoor‑adventure programming, awards including the ACTNow social‑action prize, and initiatives that support emerging filmmakers.

In recent years the organization has expanded its programming and fundraising (including annual silent auctions and community fundraisers) and reported annual revenues in the low‑to‑mid six‑figure range (most recently reported for 2023), reflecting a modestly sized arts nonprofit supporting both seasonal and year‑round activities.
