International Activism Film Festival

All plans and practices are subject to change without notice. By submitting to our film festivals, the submitter agrees to allow us to download and screen the submission. By submitting to our film festivals, the submitter provides consent for us - AIAFilmmakers, Infinite Perimeter Films, and our team - to download and/or upload their intellectual property to the internet.

Depending on the number and types of submissions we receive, we may provide alternative and/or additional awards. Please find the current Awards Master at our websites. We ask you to create a complimentary headshot & profile with AIAFilmmakers.org.

Script submissions must contain a cover page. Script submissions under a pen name must be pre-approved by festival organizers prior to submission.

If you have pressing, immediate, important questions or concerns, please do not send them to us via email! Please call/text us, (720) 298-1524.

All refund requests are handled at the discretion of our festival organizers. If submitters have a valid reason for a refund request, we will do our best to provide refunds and/or waiver codes. Please note that non-acceptance to our festival is not a valid reason for a refund.

All submissions must be the original work of the submitter/creative. Non-English speaking films and music videos should be subtitled in English. Music videos must be music-track centric, featuring the music/song/lyrics as the primary content, one single track from start to finish (not including credits). Also, Music videos must include the musician & song title in the title and on-screen credits.

A short or feature-length film that is highly visual with music added to emphasize, augment, & illustrate visual content would not qualify as a music video. Please submit these under "All Categories." Please be sure your submission is relevant to the theme of our festival!

Submission Statuses (Award, Finalist, Semi-Finalist, Selected) may change as requirements are satisfied. If you receive an "Incomplete" or "Disqualified" status, please call/text us for clarification.

After we select a submission and the submitter is notified, the submission will eventually be published in PDF format on our festival web sites, InfinitePerimeter.com and/or AIAFilmmakers.org.

Award, Finalist, Semi-Finalist, Selected and Non-selected submissions will be published.. Withdrawn statuses may also be listed. If you do not wish your submission to show as "Non-selected" please withdraw it prior to the Notification Date. Please allow a few weeks following the conclusion of festival live events to find the submission listed at our websites.

We generally select festival screeners from "Award Winners", "Finalists" and "Semi-Finalists". We regret that we are unable to screen all of our "Official" selections.

Once you are notified, please be sure your uploaded submission is made downloadable to our team via FilmFreeway or Vimeo ONLY. We download your media to our hard drives and create playlists for screening at our live events. You are invited to upload to FilmFreeway your poster & promotional photos with a short synopsis for possible inclusion on our web sites and publications.
