ScorpiusFest
Emerging or unverified festival
ScorpiusFest is an annual independent film festival now based in Boulder, Colorado, held at the Dairy Arts Center. It is notable for its intimate screenings, filmmaker Q&As, and focus on international, thought-provoking cinema that includes features, shorts, documentaries, and animation from around the world. The festival is a smaller, community-oriented event that serves as a local showcase for emerging and established independent filmmakers rather than a major industry market.
