Flathead Lake International Cinemafest

The Flathead Lake International Cinemafest is proud to present its tenth annual edition of domestic and international independent cinema from January 28 - 30, 2022. Filmmakers and film fans alike love attending this exciting winter film festival in picturesque Polson, Montana. Nestled at the base of Flathead Lake, Polson and FLIC offer small town charm and big league independent film enjoyment for our guests. Filmmakers enjoy FLIC because of the opportunity to exhibit their films to real audiences — not just audiences of other filmmakers. They also appreciate the intimate Q&A sessions after film screenings -- and multiple networking opportunities with other filmmakers. FLIC hosts events throughout the weekend, affording filmmakers interaction with their colleagues and audience members. Additionally, we close the weekend with an awards show — passing out accolades and hardware to deserving filmmakers is one of the best parts of the weekend! Filmmakers love FLIC: "A filmmaker's film festival! Jessica and David are the most wonderful hosts who treat filmmakers and their films with great care and respect. Well organized from beginning to end. The setting is gorgeous and because the festival is relatively small, it gave us a chance to meet and network with many other filmmakers and audience members. I highly recommend for anyone who is selected to attend. 5 stars." Paula Mozen: Life Interrupted "FLIC was an amazing expereince. The festival had a wonderful program with amazing films, they took care of us, the audience was engaged and attentive and our screening had a full house. Jessica and David, who are in charge of the festival are fellow filmmakers , and they really make this a heartfelt filmmakers festival." Jim and Sam: After So Many Days "Loved this festival! Had such an amazing time networking with other filmmakers & watching great films... David & Jessica put on a world class show!" Charles Moore: The Simple Path Come join the fun in January!
