The Great Beyond Festival

Join us in Great Falls, Montana for an unforgettable in-person experience, featuring:

12 incredible short and feature length films - 6 on Friday and 6 more on Saturday

A bonus 13th film on Thursday for "All Access" badge holders

Script writing and SFX Makeup workshops with Script Anatomy and Kat Sketch

Meet-and-greets with filmmakers, screenwriters, and fellow fans of the weird and wonderful

An overnight ghost hunt you’ll never forget!

This is a film festival for storytellers, seekers, and the seriously curious—right here, in person. This festival dives deep into the worlds of extraterrestrials, cryptids, and the paranormal—shining a spotlight on the strange, the mysterious, and the stories that live just beyond the edge of what we know. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just love a good mystery, you'll find inspiration, insight, and community among the shadows at The Great Beyond Festival!

No streaming. No shortcuts. Just the magic of cinema—and maybe a few things that go bump in the night.
