The Horsetooth Int’l Film Festival (HIFFCO) is gearing up for our 3rd annual festival from Sep. 8-12th, 2021 across three Northern Colorado (NoCo) venues; The Holiday Twin Drive-in Theatre, The OtterBox Digital Dome Theater at The Fort Collins Museum of Discovery (FcMOD) and The Lyric Cinema, each located in Fort Collins, Colorado.
Each year, HIFFCO provides a platform for a variety of filmmakers, local artists, and musicians to perform and/or display their talents throughout the festival. Festivities begin at 5 p.m. each evening, and feature live music and uniquely themed film blocks. We’ve built a curated rundown around a key theme for each day of HIFF3 that includes both short and long form content.
