Tucumcari Film Festival
The Tucumcari Film Festival celebrates the spirit of exploration, imagination, and the rich heritage of the frontier through the diverse categories of science fiction, comedies, westerns, and impactful documentaries.
At its first edition, the Tucumcari Film Festival (Formerly the Tucumcari Rawhide Days Film Festival) celebrated all of these moments by showing the television show Rawhide and other creations that reflected the southwest and western from the lawless frontier towns to the beatniks who roamed Route 66.
Among the selected films will be professional and amateur works from international, national, and local New Mexico filmmakers and creators. All categories have awards attached to them.
Topics for workshops are under consideration, what would you like to see? Message us here or on our Facebook.

"Tucumcari is a great, young festival. Hard-working organizers kept things running smoothly. Friendly folks offering intimate tutorial sessions and panels. Screenings in the old theater were good quality, though there were some minor issues with sound quality. Looking forward to coming back in 2024."
Director & Producer
"Thank you Tucumcari Rawhide Days Film Festival (TFF) for selecting and awarding my short film CHARLIE. TRDFF was extremely supportive of my AAPI Western and being a Local NM Filmmaker. I really wish I could have attended in person, but I'm motivated to make another western just in hopes to be selected again by TRDFF :) TRDFF had great communication about their event and seemed organized. Thank you Tucumcari Rawhide Days Film Festival! Organizations like yours help encourage indie filmmakers to feel seen and heard. Much appreciation!!!."
