Cordillera is proud to be hosting this fundraiser for the Future Filmmakers Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)3 organziation, dedicated to empowering emerging storytellers - now celebrating its 10th anniversary!

 The Future Filmmakers Foundation is dedicated to providing mentorship, hands-on filmmaking experiences, and career-building opportunities to Nevada’s youth—many from underrepresented communities. This event serves as both a celebration of their achievements and an opportunity to recognize the growing impact of Nevada’s creative economy.

As a champion of diverse voices, the Cordillera Int'l Film Festival, located in the beautiful Reno Tahoe region of Nevada, has quickly become one of the “Top 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World” according to MovieMaker Magazine - for two years in a row - and is ranked in the Top 1% of over 10,000 film festivals worldwide by FilmFreeway. Cordillera features 5-Days filled with 150+ films, celebrity panels, red carpet premieres, parties and a Grand Jury made up of iconic industry leaders. 
Cordillera also proudly sponsors the Future Filmmakers Foundation and The Film Nevada Initiative. 

Cordillera's Pre-Oscars Gala benefiting the Future Filmmakers Foundation takes place on March 14th, 2026 at 6pm in the Grande Exposition Hall of the Silver Legacy Resort Casino! 

It's an evening of live entertainment, hosted dinner and bar, and the excitement of a live auction as well as our silent auction... plus, honoring our impact award winner and a few surprises along the way!

We also host a VIP Champagne Reception before the event with the purchase of a VIP ticket or table sponsorship.
