BIFF 
February 28-March 3, 2019

https://biff1.com/filmmakers/

The Boulder International Film Festival is excited to be presenting two new monetary awards for BIFF 2019: The $10,000 "Grand Jury Prize: Best Feature Length Film" (Narrative or Documentary) and the $3,000 "Grand Jury Prize: Best Short Film” (Narrative, Doc, or Animated). 

Filmmakers enjoy luxurious accommodations and an exclusive VIP pass to the legendary parties, where interaction with Oscar-winning celebrities, A-list filmmakers and major-league industry reps is the norm.  Major industry who have attended the Festival include big-leaguers like The Hollywood Reporter, MovieMaker Magazine, DreamWorks, Submarine Entertainment, 20th Century Fox, and A & E IndieFilms, among many others. World-class food and drink and fantastic parties every night all add up to one of the most welcoming, filmmaker-friendly festivals on the circuit.

Of course, most people go to Colorado in February to ski. It’s our best month! Filmmakers can head up to the slopes for some of the best skiing of the year, complements of BIFF. With over 25,000 attendees, countless opportunities for widespread exposure, and some of the best films and filmmakers working today, it's clear why BIFF was named one of MovieMaker Magazine's "25 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee" and "25 Coolest Film Festivals."

BIFF has honored some of the world's most admired talents including James Franco, Shirley MacLaine, Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, Elliott Gould, William H. Macy, Bruce Dern, Alan Arkin, and director Oliver Stone, along with many independent filmmakers, stars and special guests including directors Lawrence Kasdan (“The Big Chill”, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”), Anthony Bregman (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, “Begin Again"), Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree Congressman John Lewis, legendary comedian Chevy Chase, and Golden Globe-nominated actors Maria Bello and Blythe Danner.

A filmmaker’s festival

The Boulder International Film Festival will be accepting submissions starting June 27th. BIFF 2015 is March 5 – 8.

The Boulder International Film Festival offers filmmakers superb hospitality, excellent exposure opportunities and huge, enthusiastic audiences, all combining to create an incredible festival experience. Filmmakers enjoy luxurious upscale accommodations close to the Festival’s main venue, a travel stipend (for feature length films only), and an exclusive Red Carpet VIP pass to the galas and legendary parties, where plenty of interaction with Oscar-winning celebrities and directors is the norm. Of course, most people come to Colorado in March to ski (it’s our best month!). Filmmakers can head up to the slopes for the best skiing of the year, and will receive a free lift ticket and ski rental at our favorite ski resort a short drive from Boulder. World-class food and drink and fantastic parties every night all add up to one of the most welcoming, filmmaker-friendly festivals on the circuit.

The Festival attracts more than 25,000 film enthusiasts, media and industry each year and has been proud to host and celebrate some of film’s most talented artists, including 2013 Kennedy Center honoree Shirley MacLaine at BIFF 2014, Oscar-nominated actors Alec Baldwin, James Franco, Martin Sheen, Oliver Stone, William H. Macy, Peter Fonda, Emmy-nominated actress Blythe Danner, legendary comedian Chevy Chase, and Golden-Globe nominated actress Maria Bello, along with many other independent filmmakers and special guests including directors Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill), Anthony Bregman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Michael and Mark Polish (Northfork), Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree Congressman John Lewis (Freedom Riders), and writer John August (Big Fish), among many others.

I am about to direct my first feature film, and it all began at the Boulder International Film Festival 2014. I went there with my short film, Lunch Date, which I wrote and directed. I met the Investor and Executive Producer for my upcoming feature film at my screening, and from there, the course of my life changed! We begin shooting in London, summer 2014. It’s a wonderful festival which celebrates independent filmmakers, and where truly amazing things happen!

The author of The Ultimate Film Festival Survival Guide and the founder of Film Threat, says “Boulder as a vacation destination already puts BIFF on the map. And the staff’s dedication to championing true indies, the amazing hospitality along with a classic theater (with a full bar that serves drinks during the screenings) make this a festival that should be on the top of every filmmaker’s list.”
