The Ouray Film Sabbatical is a fully funded, four-day residential program in Ouray, Colorado, run by the Ouray International Film Festival to give filmmakers, film writers, and programmers time for creative support, rest, and community. It is notable as a retreat-style industry gathering rather than a screening festival, designed to foster reflection, collaboration, and professional exchange in the San Juan Mountains.
