Welcome to the 12th annual FilmQuest Festival, the world’s #1 best reviewed film festival on FilmFreeway!
Gaining legendary raves as one of the very best festivals on the planet, genre or otherwise, for its high quality of selections, great events, bevy of attending filmmakers, the highly coveted and prestigious Cthulhu Trophy, and twice as one of MovieMaker Magazine’s “25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World” (2024 & 2023), “50 Bloody Best Genre Fests in the World” (2021 & 2019) and six-times named one of their “Top 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee” (2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2017, 2015), as well as one of Dread Centrals “Best Horror Festivals in the World” in both 2022 and 2021, and Utah’s 7x Best of State film festival (2018 – 2024), FIlmQuest celebrates the majesty and might of genre filmmaking in the realms of fantasy, horror, sci-fi, and the beyond (including action, thriller, western, kung-fu, and more). The 2025 season will continue this grand tradition of celebrating the world’s greatest genre filmmaking in our beautiful home of Utah!
FilmQuest has been designed specifically to cater to the empowerment of the filmmaker through various events, awards, swag, connections, and more. In creating the festival, we thought long and hard about what it is that makes a festival great. We asked ourselves the tough questions. What we’ve come up with is, we believe, a festival experience that is the kind most filmmakers dream about.
The Juries will award our filmmakers in over 45 individual categories. Our selection committee is also made up of a group of industry professionals from various fields, such as directors, actors, producers, professors, writers, animators, casting directors, and more.
Want more? We will also be hosting exclusive parties, panels, and more! So get involved today and consider becoming a part of one of the most exciting film festivals to emerge on the circuit in years! We look forward to seeing your submissions!
