Whether you’re looking for industry attention, film-savvy theatergoers, or just a great excuse to visit the “Live Music Capital of the World,” the Austin Film Festival is the place for you this October. With one-of-a-kind venues and carefully selected competition juries, we make sure your work gets the respect it deserves. Don’t miss your opportunity to share the spotlight with an enthusiastic and encouraging mix of aspiring and established filmmaking talent.

Offering the best in film…
Each year, the AFF presents over 170 regional, national, and world premiere films. From highly anticipated Hollywood fare to the finest in independent filmmaking, the Festival focuses on showcasing the films and filmmakers audiences want to see. Among 2010’s notable screenings were Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan and 127 Hours, by Danny Boyle. Submit today, and your film could take its place in this year’s film lineup.

Still not convinced? Well, don’t take our word for it.
“Austin Film Festival is truly the festival for independent filmmakers. The experience had there cannot be matched. From the highly valuable content of their conferences to the intimate venues and parties, Austin Film Festival gives young aspiring filmmakers and writers the opportunity to learn more about their craft while being immersed in a pool of creative minds that feed off of and support one another. There’s nothing like it.”
