The Montana CINE International Film Festival features films on a broad range of topics relating to our environment, our cultures and our planet.
Our mission is to feature films that create a dialogue on current and critical issues ranging from hunting to land use, agriculture to food, ranching, mining, recreation, social, cultural and political topics. Films entered may be features or documentaries. They may be from any production year. The Montana CINE International Film Festival completes a global picture of why and how we live in our world and interact with our environment.
The historic Roxy Theater is one of Missoula's treasured landmarks. For years the Roxy had served as a dollar theater, then stood vacant after it was gutted by a devastating fire in 1994. After it was remodeled, the commercial cinema couldn't make it and gave up.
In 2002, the International Wildlife Media Center took a major step in its development by campaigning to purchase the theater and breathe new life into it. Today, the Roxy's three theaters can be rented by the general public for special events, such as family gatherings, slideshows with friends or professional colleagues, artistic performances, lectures and art exhibits. The IWMC stages its own events here; serving as an art gallery stop, wildlife film matinees for all ages throughout the year, special speaker/film events, and other gatherings.
