The International Wildlife Film Festival is the longest running wildlife film festival. Filmmakers from all over the world flock to the Roxy once a year to celebrate excellence in films that highlight our interaction with nature.

This year’s festival embraces what is now referred to as a hybrid model where we offer opportunities to participate in the festival virtually and also outdoors.

Sixty-five 2021 film selections will be accessible through the Eventive platform during the festival. Most films will be available globally and released week-to-week within the month-long festival to best highlight each unique film. Films may have differing virtual restrictions based on their own distributor’s requests - take note of special ticket limits or dates mentioned in each films’s profile page.

The 2021 IWFF is offering several outdoor experiences that can inspire our audiences, protect the community, and offer innovative solutions to exhibiting film amidst the pandemic. The festival wishes to underscore that safety is of the utmost importance to the festival and also to our larger family, the Roxy Theater, Missoula’s own community cinema.

By offering a virtual catalog, audiences can enjoy the festival while in their own homes. Every outdoor venue will require masks and social distancing. The Roxy Theater presented safe screenings for the community at the Roxy Garden venue and Ogren Park this past summer and IWFF is thrilled to be bringing back opportunities that are proven to be COVID-safe and fun! The pop-up installations are another creative, outdoor option for audiences to share in the magic of the festival collectively while following protocols that will protect everyone involved. Our hope is that these standards prioritize our community’s safety and will contribute to returning us all to the Roxy’s theaters as soon as possible.
