Now Accepting 2026 Festival Submissions

The Spokane International Film Festival is an intimate festival where filmmakers and audiences engage the art of cinema. We offer a small, selective offering of world-class films. These are the very best features, documentaries, and shorts that have been made around the world during the past year but have not yet been commercially released. SpIFF hosts screenings, parties, and other events that are open to the public and encourage lively and educational interactions between filmmakers and our audiences.
