Tucumcari Film Festival 2027

Adventure, romance, drama, and high stakes, all contribute to a good ol'western.

Find Your Route Through Cinema
Welcome to the Tucumcari Film Festival. Born as the Tucumcari Rawhide Days Film Festival, we began by honoring classics like Rawhide and the southwestern tales that shaped our identity – from lawless frontier towns to the free-spirited beatniks who made Route 66 legendary. Today, we've expanded our route to welcome storytellers from every corner of the globe.

Your Cinematic Journey Awaits
Navigate through our diverse film categories: visionary science fiction, heartfelt comedies, authentic westerns, and powerful documentaries. Each genre represents a different route through storytelling, celebrating both our frontier heritage and boundless imagination.

Our festival showcases professional and amateur works from international, national, and local New Mexico filmmakers. Every category offers awards, recognizing the unique routes filmmakers take to bring their visions to life.
