Independent since 1997! The 25th Green Mountain Film Festival is returning March 12-15, 2026! We are grateful for your support to make this coming year’s festival a beautiful and expansive weekend of international and local film!

Our long-standing cultural event relies on community support from friends like you! Donations make up about 30% of the entire festival budget. Your contributions really do make this happen!

The  Green Mountain Film Festival returned to Montpelier, Vermont in March 2024 after a 4 year hiatus. Since 1997, we have offered unique independent film programming in our downtown Montpelier and Central Vermont community — showcasing narrative, documentary, and experimental features and shorts from all over the world!

A special thank you to the amazing folks who have already been supporting us with monthly donations!

----

We are also committed to buying locally whenever possible, even though that might mean slightly higher prices than what can be found on the internet. We believe that supporting the local economy helps our community stay strong and we put our money where our values are. 

----

We are also committed to paying fair compensation to artists for their work. This means that all contributing artists will be compensated in some way (combination of tickets, fees, housing, etc). We extend this value to our staff and pay as well as we can for the hardworking crew behind the scenes. 

----

We are additionally committed to keeping this festival accessible to the local community, so we do not inflate ticket prices but keep them at current market rates. We strive to offer free or subsidized tickets whenever possible through our community sponsors program.

All of this is made possible with your charitable contribution. This is why we’re asking for your support. Here are four ways to help:
