Launched in March 2012, the Sun Valley Film Festival features a week-long celebration of filmmaking by showing about 60 films from a variety of genres, from film student works and documentaries to children movies, web series, music videos, and narrative features. The Festival ‘s One Potato short screenplay competition was launched to promote filmmaking in Idaho.

The WILD TO INSPIRE film contest was launched with National Geographics, and the High Scribe Screenplay Competition offers winners an opportunity to discuss their work with some of the biggest names in the movie industry. The movies are shown in the town’s meticulously restored Liberty Theatre, and the screenings are followed by networking dinners, forums, debates, discussions and, of course, lively parties.
