We’re now submitting for #CIAFF2022. Submitters, please provide us with your poster, headshot, stills, trailer and submission downloads only via FilmFreeway and/or Vimeo, 1920 x 1080.

Please note, this year, we’re requiring all selected screening submissions to be uploaded to our Dropbox folder so we can transfer them to our platform. Learn more.

Due to “pandemic” craziness, #CIAFF2020 was held online July 24 – August 14. Last year, we received 100+ submissions. Nominees, awards and more here.

“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.” If it’s good enough for SXSW, it’s good enough for us!

Previous awards, programs, etc. here. Please consult the Vimeo OTT platform directly for additional rules and guidelines. Sign up for our mailing list.

We very much appreciate your positive reviews. Thanks for sharing our laurels, awards and posts with your Colorado-based social media to include Twitter, Parlor, Instagram, and Facebook. 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 TEXT/CALL (720) 298-1524.

Depending on the number and types of submissions we receive, we may provide alternative and/or additional awards. Here’s our 2017-2019 Awards Master, PDF. Here’s our 2020 Awards Master, PDF.

We’re happy to provide custom certificates to all film festival submitters upon request at the conclusion of our live event. Check out a sample certificate, here.

All donations go toward supporting filmmakers, photographers, artists, musicians & writers. You rock! As our festival acquires sponsorship and 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 and create your complimentary profile w/ headshot, cover and link(s), https://aiafilmmakers.org/

All plans and practices are subject to change without notice. By submitting to our film festivals, the submitter agrees to allow us to download and screen the submission. By submitting to our film festivals, the submitter provides consent for us – AIAFilmmakers, Infinite Perimeter Films, and our team – to download and/or upload their intellectual property to the internet.
