What is a Film Crawl?

Opening Day of the Film Fest is Saturday, October 17, and you won’t want to miss this!

Part 1 - Each location will show a short film, it’s your job to find and watch as many films as you can before the Afterparty starts at The Hive at 7:30pm. To kickoff the start of the Film Fest, we’ll begin at Matchwood Brewery and make our way, in whatever order you choose, to each participating venue (Utara, Pivo Peaks, The Bank: Barroom & Eatery, and Idaho Pour Authority).

The theme of the night is “Old School Hollywood” so dress up if you want, or don’t ;) and join us as we take to the town to kickoff the inaugural Sandpoint Idaho Film Fest. This portion of the event is FREE!

Part 2 - Opening Night Celebration at The Hive with DJ Lady Oda and Glizi! (21+) We’ll show a short animated film before Glizi performs.
