Festival overview

About WIFF - Worldwide International Film Festival

Physical film festival in Arizona, United States with submission categories including Best Queer and Best Minorities Award.

WIFF Film Fest hosts screenings and an inclusive selection that leaves every audience wanting more. Be a part of this new way of premiering your short film at The WIFF Film Fest.

In partnership with A Night Of Misifit, WIFF brings international movies to Phoenix. All competition films will receive a financial email rewarding your film with an equal split of the proceeds for filmmakers.

Our goal is to help the filmmakers have as much success through our festival as possible. We feature each filmmaker in our marketing as well as on the days of the festival capturing interviews for future press for the filmmakers.

All these little things we feel give filmmakers the best chance to have a successful year premiering their film.
