Welcome to JUNKTOWN 2025

We’re not Sundance or Tribeca or Telluride.

We’re certainly not Cannes and we’re not even Slamdance.

We’re the Junktown Film Festival, located in Grand Junction, Colorado, the childhood home of blacklisted screenwriter (and bathtub enthusiast) Dalton Trumbo. We showcase incredible short films from across the United States and around the world.

If you’re a filmmaker, show us what you’ve got at our FilmFreeway page.

If you appreciate seeing something new, come see what we’ve got.

The Junktown Film Festival will be Friday, October 10, 2025 at the Avalon Theater in Grand Junction, Colorado.


The Junktown Film Festival is operated in conjunction with the Avalon Theater Foundation. This is a labor of love and your generous contributions make our festival happen.

Please note on your donation that it is for the Junktown Film Festival.
