Welcome to JUNKTOWN

The Junktown Film Festival is located in Grand Junction, CO, the childhood home of blacklisted screenwriter (and bathtub enthusiast) Dalton Trumbo.

We showcase incredible short films from the Western Slope of Colorado, across the United States, and around the world.

The Junktown Film Festival will be Friday, October 30, 2026 at the Avalon Theater in Grand Junction, Colorado.

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 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.
