Dome Fest West

The US's only dedicated fulldome film festival. Coming to the Fiske Planetarium April 22-26, 2026.

Dome Fest West is an immersive Dome film festival and conference scheduled for May 2-5, 2024, in Boulder, Colorado. What better way to share immersive experiences than within the Dome space? It's becoming increasingly clear that Dome content isn't just for planetariums or science centers anymore! As more Dome venues come online in 2023, audiences will have a new way to watch world-class immersive

content, all without requiring a VR headset. You can now surround yourself with familiar formats in a brand new way and be amazed at the technology that has helped bring new stories to life.
