Welcome to the 16th Annual 5Point Adventure Film Festival! Join us from April 19-23 for our signature adventure film programming as well as a 5K race, live music, comedy, panel discussions, podcasts and late-night parties.
We’re excited to announce the first annual 5Point 5K fun run! Come out and run with filmmakers, special guests, and the Carbondale community at 8:00 am on Saturday, April 22. All are welcome! Event details and registration.
For the first time ever, we’re complementing our film programming with a free music series from 4:00 pm at the Carbondale Recreation Center on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Come groove to iZCALLi (Thursday), Brothers of Brass (Friday), and a very special performance from local yacht rock legends, The Davenports on Saturday. Did we mention it’s FREE?
Join us on Thursday night from 10:00 pm for Late Night Laughs – our first-ever stand-up comedy night. Doing double duty as emcee, Eeland Stribling has recruited some of his funniest friends from Denver for an exclusive late-night performance at the Black Nugget in Carbondale. Featuring: Salma Zaky, Gabby Gutierrez-Reed, and Sammy Anzer.
We’ve always been proud to support talented local artists, and this year is no exception. Read more about Kessiah Carlbon and her inspiration behind our official festival poster. We aim to capture your heart and we think the artwork does exactly that.
It was adventure that drew me here. I stumbled upon Carbondale during a year on the road with my dog, Paco. The thing I remember about my first 5Point Adventure Film Festival is holding back tears often — the stories just got me right in the heart. The artwork this year is a representation of that heart and the way that nature fills us up with wonder. Each of the five quadrants depicts a scene where we might interact with the outdoors, loosely correlating to a sequence of the five elements: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Space. In my fine art, I work mostly in colored pencils and wood burning, and digitally I do logo design and website work. The 5Point Adventure Film Festival is a gem in our local community amplifying so many talented filmmakers, humans, and heart-changing stories. It’s a total joy and honor to create the artwork for such an excellent celebration of community, artistry, and the way that nature sets our hearts ablaze.
