BOULDER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL - Voted one of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals by MovieMaker Magazine (Summer 2009).

Boulder, Colorado, the Smartest City in America (Forbes Magazine 2008), produces sold-out shows and huge film-savvy audiences for its four-day Boulder International Film Festival. Thousands of enthusiastic, highly-educated festival-goers have helped make BIFF one of the most influential young film festivals in the U.S., with an extraordinary number of new films that have gone from early screenings at BIFF to significant box-office success and multiple Oscar nominations.

Chris Gore, author of The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide and the founder of Film Threat, says "The staff's dedication to championing true Indies and amazing hospitality, along with a classic theater make this a festival that should be on the top of every filmmaker's list." BIFF is Feb 11-14, 2010.

We strongly encourage you to accompany your film to our festival. Upon acceptance, we assign a filmmaker liaison to each filmmaker in the festival and house you at a 5-star hotel, just a few blocks from our main venue - the historic 850-seat Boulder Theater in downtown Boulder. There's great free food, great hospitality, a filmmaker bar, skiing 45 minutes from Boulder, and fantastic parties every night. All events, parties, films, and workshops are located within a 4-block radius of your hotel accommodations on the legendary Pearl Street Mall. Boulder is beautiful, fun and easy-to-get-to; and you'll have a great time at our forums and parties where you'll get a chance to rub egos with accomplished filmmakers, critics, and industry from throughout the world.
