ScorpiusFest is an annual, international, independent film festival. 2026 will be our seventh year in operation, our sixth year on FilmFreeway, and our first year with a new team of independent filmmakers and former attendees running the show!

ScorpiusFest is an in-person film festival taking place on February 28th – March 1st, 2026 at the Dairy Arts Center in Boulder, Colorado. The Dairy has been a creative hub in Boulder since 1991, featuring multiple performance spaces, art galleries, and a cozy 60-seat cinema perfect for intimate film screenings. We will be screening all ScorpiusFest nominees and award-winners in this inspiring arts center that captures the spirit of Boulder’s creative community.

We invite international short films, feature films, and documentaries of all genres to be submitted. Join us in Boulder for this celebration of independent cinema and creative storytelling from filmmakers around the world.
