“By screening online in a fixed-term, pay-wall enforced, official festival capacity, your submission is not earning revenue or being sold to consumers in a traditional VOD market and, therefore, remains viable for future sales opportunities.” Learn more. Unless you hear otherwise, we’re planning to hold #CIAFF2021 Colorado Intl. Activism Film Festival and #CISFFF2021 Colorado Intl. SciFi & Fantasy Film Festival also online this year. Please consult venues and platforms directly for rules and guidelines. Check here.

Stay up to date, sign up for our mailing list. We very much appreciate your positive reviews. Thanks for sharing our awards and posts with your Colorado-based social media to include Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Here’s our links. We anticipate submissions from many countries. Activists submit short & feature-length films, screenplays, music/songs, art and photos for consideration by our team of 3-8 judges, which may change seasonally.

As our festival grows locally in popularity & sponsorship, we hope to invite partners & volunteers. We hope to hold panels and debates. In the meantime, our events may be lightly attended, so please plan accordingly. All plans and practices are subject to change without notice. If you’re interested in volunteering, helping judge submissions and/or writing film & music reviews, which we may publish at our websites, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Depending on the number and types of submissions we receive, we may provide alternative and/or additional awards. We’re happy to provide custom certificates to film festival submitters uon request at the conclusion of our live event. Samples here and here.  As our festival acquires sponsorship & funding, we hope to offer cash and other types of awards to talented activist filmmakers and creatives.

In the meantime, submitters, judges, volunteers & award winners are automatically enrolled in Association of International Activist Filmmakers (a $100 value). You are invited to list the society on your portfolio/CV. Please create your complimentary profile with headshot, cover and link(s), here.
