5Point Film Festival

Look out Banff and move over Telluride, there’s a new kid in a town as Carbondale’s own 5Point Film Festival will debut May 8-10. The brain child of Julie Kennedy, the event will feature adventure films, guest speakers and a panel discussion. The festival aims to “inspire adventure”, and with over 25 films on the docket, there’s sure to be something for everyone. Special guests confirmed so far are Erik Weihenmayer, Gerry Lopez, Yvon Chouinard and Tommy Caldwell. The event will take place at the new Carbondale Rec Center, Thunder River Theater and other local spots, and proceeds will go to benefit 1% for the Planet and other non-profits around the Roaring Fork Valley. Put it on your calendar and we’ll see you all there!
