Equus International Film Festival & Conference
Missoula
September 11, 2025
The EQUUS INTERNATIONAL Film Festival & Conference (EIFF) is the world’s premier showcase for award-winning films celebrating the spirit, strength, and stories of horses. Held where it all began—right in Missoula, Montana—this powerful three-day event features equine-focused documentaries, features, narratives, music videos, and new media from around the globe.
Founded in 2011 as an outreach and education project of Horse Haven Montana, EIFF was the first international equine film festival and remains the only one of its kind headquartered in the heart of the American West. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIFF is committed to educating, inspiring, and advancing equine welfare and the horse-human connection through the power of film and media.
In addition to world-class film screenings, the 2025 festival will include clinics, conference sessions, and special presentations that explore the evolving partnership between horses and humans. This year’s theme—“A New Vision in Horsemanship”—spotlights the deep emotional and cultural bond that continues to shape lives around the world.
EIFF is more than a festival—it's a global movement. Through its "On the Trail" Post-Festival Tours, EQUUS INTERNATIONAL partners with communities and organizations to bring these meaningful films and conversations to wider audiences across the U.S. and beyond.
Whether you’re a filmmaker, horse lover, advocate, or simply inspired by the beauty of the equine spirit—EIFF invites you to be part of this unforgettable celebration.
