Zelda Tenenbaum brought the Telluride Mountainfilm on Tour to Savannah in 2009. She wanted to share this wonderful festival with Savannah that she had been attending in Telluride for several years. The first year of the festival in Savannah was held at the Jepson Center for the Arts. In 2011, the festival found its current home at the beautiful Trustees Theatre in downtown Savannah.
