Join us for the Chandler International Film Festival 2025!!

The Chandler International Film Festival (CIFF) was founded in 2016 with a simple mission: to bring international films to a local audience. Proudly based in Chandler, Arizona, CIFF has quickly become one of the fastest-growing film festivals in the state. Dedicated to uniting the community through the art of film, CIFF offers something for everyone-whether you're a filmmaker or a casual movie enthusiast.
 
Each year, CIFF showcases over 120 films from six continents and 35 countries. Independent filmmakers from around the globe gather in Chandler to present their work, connect with industry professionals and fans, and share insights into their creative process.
 
For the past six years, CIFF has proudly partnered with the City of Chandler to participate in the Chandler Multicultural Festival, which recently celebrated its 29th anniversary. At CIFF, we see our role as more than just hosting a visual arts event. We strive to foster positive cultural exchange by highlighting the richness of diverse ethnic, racial, and cultural identities. CIFF is especially proud to honor BIPOC and women filmmakers, celebrating their unique voices and perspectives in film.

The ten-day festival features an exciting lineup of events, including a glamorous red carpet opening ceremony, world premiere screenings, filmmaking workshops, panel discussions, nightly after-parties, and a memorable closing awards ceremony.
 
CIFF is committed to creating meaningful opportunities for both filmmakers and film fans alike. Whether you're curious about life behind the camera or captivated by what happens on-screen, CIFF brings together experts from all areas of filmmaking to deliver an unforgettable experience for everyone.
