The Borrego Springs Film Festival features great local attendance, a catered opening gala, a filmmaker networking event, filmmaker activities, our catered Saturday party, panel discussions, a red carpet event, a catered award ceremony, and so much more.

Our model is “traditional film festival.” Old school. We’re a bunch of film lovers that prioritize gathering together to watch and talk about truly independent movies and having a good time doing it. We ain’t fancy, but we’re earnest, encouraging, and personal. It’s the best way to fest! Join us!

The Borrego Springs Film Festival

The BSFF is presented by the Borrego Springs Film Institute, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
