Welcome to the 6th Annual Montana Film Festival. Watch anytime, anywhere October 8-11, 2020.
Montana Film Festival is a respite from the market and industry of film festivals. We celebrate and highlight emergent talents and new points of view, importing perspective and representation, with special celebration of Montana's growing film community.
Founded within the heart of a non-profit cinema, our highest aim is to enrich our audiences through the art and craft of narrative independent film.
Montana Film Festival is based in beautiful Missoula, Montana at the convergence of five mountain ranges, and this year is brought to you virtually.
Cowboys: Steve Zahn stars as Troy, a troubled but well-intentioned father who has recently separated from his wife Sally (Jillian Bell). Aghast at Sally's refusal to let their trans son Joe (Sasha Knight) live as his authentic self, Troy runs off with Joe into the Montana wilderness. Meanwhile a police detective (Ann Dowd) pursues them, but her resolve about the case is tested the more she learns about Joe's family. Cowboys, a modern-day Western from director Anna Kerrigan, is a tale of rescue, family betrayal, and a father and son on the run.
