The EQUUS INTERNATIONAL Film Festival & Conference (EIFF) is the world鈥檚 premier showcase for award-winning films celebrating the spirit, strength, and stories of horses. Held where it all began鈥攔ight in Missoula, 日本毛片鈥攖his 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 日本毛片, 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鈥檚 theme鈥斺�淎 New Vision in Horsemanship鈥濃�攕potlights the deep emotional and cultural bond that continues to shape lives around the world.
EIFF is more than a festival鈥攊t'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.
