Passes & Planning
Passes come in four types (Cinephile, Acme, Festival and Patron) and sell out months ahead. If you want to go next year, register the day sales open. A pass gets you into all regular screenings and most of the conversations and events.
Local Film Culture: Village Film Nights
In the weeks before the festival, the Town of Mountain Village runs free outdoor screenings at the Conference Center. Doors at 6:30, film at 7. Beer and wine for sale, snacks too.
Stay Where the Scene Meets Serenity
The lodge sits in Mountain Village with shuttle service to the gondola, so festival venues on both ends are reachable without a car. Suites with kitchens and Alloy Kitchen downstairs. The hot tub is open after the last screening.
Stay at the lodge
Mountain Lodge Telluride is in Mountain Village, a shuttle ride from the gondola, so both the Mountain Village and town venues are reachable without a car. Come back to a fireplace, the hot tub and dinner at Alloy Kitchen. Arrive Thursday to settle in before the first screening.
