Why SFIFF?
We believe Awards and recognitions are not just honors which will feature prominently in a person’s obituary. Rather, it shapes an emerging artist by giving more responsibility on their shoulders as a filmmaker. By hosting a diverse range of awards in the key departments of audio-visual media, we provide the best opportunities for emerging filmmakers, musicians, and photographers to receive such recognition. Also, SFIFF has no barriers to submitting films. The festival will showcase the worldwide submission of Fiction, Drama, Experimental, Horror, Human Rights, Religious, Sci-Fi, Women, Underground, Comedy, Asian, African, Adventure, or any genres in the art of visual storytelling.
We are looking for stories that capture the imagination, talent, and diversity of filmmakers, which will leave audiences in awe.
