Big Sky cares about the health and wellness of our staff, volunteers, artists, and audience members. The safest possible scenario for Big Sky Doc Fest is an event where the vast majority of attendees are fully vaccinated. Please go here to find vaccine clinic locations near you. Our current state law prohibits vaccine mandates, so Big Sky will continue to provide guidance and recommendations for safely participating in festival events.
Masks and COVID-19 vaccinations, including booster shots, are recommended to enter all festival event spaces. Masks and hand sanitizers will be available at festival venues. We encourage testing in advance of the Festival. Please do not attend festival events if you are experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19.
Big Sky will monitor City of Missoula COVID Restrictions and CDC public health guidelines; any changes to our practices and protocols will be communicated on our website and by email to ticket and passholders.
The Big Sky Documentary Film Festival is designed to be a safe space and experience that celebrates a diversity of ideas, voices, artistry and artists. We are committed to providing a safe experience for everyone, which means our priority is to host spaces free of harassment, discrimination, threatening behavior or violence. We reserve the right to revoke festival access without notice or refund. If you believe you have encountered an unsafe situation or action, please reach out directly to festival director Julia Sherman at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
For those who are unable to join us in person, the Big Sky Virtual Cinema, dates TBA, offers the opportunity to screen a selection of feature and short films from the comfort of your own home. Visit the How To Fest page to learn more about participating in the virutal festival!
