**Cash Prizes range from $2,500 - $10,000**

The Grove has an average of 49,000 people daily - that's more than the famed Disneyland itself!

Anthology Film Festival (AFF) is on a mission to curate a collection of the best independent films, celebrating the raw creativity and diverse voices that shape the global cinematic landscape.

AFF transcends geographical boundaries - it's a global platform that propels your film onto the international stage. Your story deserves to be heard, and we're here to amplify it.
