Jackson Hole is a unique mountain community that embodies the spirit of the West.
More than the films.
Landing under the Tetons, passing through protected habitat of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, arriving in the western Wyoming town of Jackson the stage is set for experiences you won’t find elsewhere.
Welcome to the last of the Old West. This land has been shaped by dramatic fault lines, geothermal activity, generations of nomadic native people, trappers and explorers. Its natural beauty inspired the world’s first National Park and the Ski Resort with the highest vertical rise in the United States. JHiFF walks the paths of historic legends.

Where Passion
Meets Curation
Our Artistic Director spends his time curating a succession of films that leave the audience moved and challenged. David Nugent is the Artistic Director of both Hamptons International Film Festival (HIFF) and the Jackson Hole International Film Festival. At HIFF he also directs the Screenwriting Lab & programs film series with co-chairman Alec Baldwin. He has lectured at Harvard, and spoken at Columbia University, Pratt and Hunter College and spoken (or been a juror) at Sundance, SXSW, Dubai, Doc NYC, and Galway.
JHiFF audiences engage throughout the festival with the filmmakers and artists in intimate settings encountering the creation with the creators.
