Welcome to JUNKTOWN

The Grand Junction Film Festival is now the Junktown Film Festival.

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 Saturday, October 26, 2024 at the Avalon Theater in Grand Junction, Colorado.

Tickets to the festival can be purchase here.

Note that some films contain mature language and/or subject matter and are recommended for ages 15 and up.


The Junktown Film Festival is operated in conjunction with the Avalon Theater Foundation. We are all volunteers and your generous contributions make our festival happen.

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