SpIFF proudly accepts open submissions exclusively via FilmFreeway.com, the world’s best online submissions platform.*
SpIFF loves Pacific Northwest filmmakers! We especially love Pacific Northwest filmmakers who have their Spokane premiere at SpIFF! But we are sad to say that, except in very unusual circumstances, SpIFF is not able to screen open submissions that receive significant exhibition in Spokane prior to SpIFF, either via theatrical, non-theatrical, broadcast, or streaming venues. Such submissions may be declined at the discretion of the programmers. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at submissions@spokanefilmfestival.org before screening in Spokane and before submitting your work to SpIFF.
SpIFF will NOT consider open submissions that were publicly screened before the submission deadline of our most recently completed festival (i.e. 15 October 2023 for SpIFF 2025). Nor do we screen works that are readily available on the internet (i.e. without password protection), except in extraordinary circumstances, such as retrospective screenings or films of regional significance.
Please contact us at submissions@spokanefilmfestival.org if you are unable to submit through Film Freeway.
