Calling ALL BIPOC+ FILMS AND FILMMAKERs!

We are seeking uplifting and inspiring stories that interweave adventure, the outdoors, and conservation with themes like connection, family, and belonging for our 2025 flagship festival in Jackson, WY! Submissions are open to BIPOC+-centered films and filmmakers that redefine how we showcase BIPOC+ people and their connection to nature. We support BIPOC+ approaches to storytelling, exploration, and celebration of our outside world. We are looking for applications that showcase a diversity of thought and perspective in front of and behind the lens. All films selected for screening will be notified of their status by December 1, 2024.

If accepted for screening, your film will screen at our festival in Jackson Hole on March 14th or 15th at the Jackson Hole Center for the Arts. Additional opportunities for your film to screen (on an opt-in basis) may include the MOC film tour, the Outside Festival, and Outside Watch.

A signature element of the MOC film festival is building up a vibrant community of BIPOC+ filmmakers, outdoors people, and conservationists to connect with and support one another. If accepted for screening, please plan to attend the festival. You will either be invited to join the festival as a panelist and be compensated and have travel and lodging costs covered, or as an attendee and be eligible for one of several BIPOC+ travel stipends.
