About Austin International Film Festival
Our Vision
About the Festival
What Makes Us Different?
AIFF was founded by filmmakers, for filmmakers (and now, screenwriters). We're not a red carpet photo op—we’re a real, intimate, artist-forward experience. Every film gets screened in a proper theater, every filmmaker (and screenwriter) is celebrated, and every story matters.
We showcase short films, TV and streaming pilots, features, documentaries, student work, and screenplays from around the world—and we make space for creators to connect with audiences and each other.
Run by Inner Sanctum Films, AIFF is a passion project with a big heart, strong programming, and a touch of Texas weird.
