Dreamweaver Film Festival
January 18, 2025
The Dreamweaver Film Festival is an annual film festival with a goal to educate and elevate Idaho filmmakers in any stage of their journey, to provide the valuable knowledge of an on-set filmmaking experience from script through post-production, and to provide Idaho filmmakers with tools and experience to take their careers to the next level.
Our 4th Dreamweaver Film Festival invited amateur and professional filmmakers from the Treasure Valley and beyond to premier their short films (15 minutes and under) in a variety of genres under the theme: "MAGIC". All films are rated G to PG-13
Come see this wonderful free community event on Saturday, January 18th from 5-9PM in the Pioneer Room at JUMP.
G and PG rated films will play from 5:45 to 7:15 PM, followed by a 15-minute intermission. PG-13 rated films will play from 7:30 to 9 PM.
