The Colorado International Film Festival strives to set a standard for excellence in recognizing the important work of emerging talent and masters of the cinema craft around the world.  Quite simply, it is our mission to discover and celebrate extraordinary films.

The Colorado International Film Festival recognizes excellence in filmmaking in several categories with the prestigious Colorado Film Awards.  The Awards Committee awards deserving films and screenplays in the following categories: Feature Film, Documentary Film, Short Film, Animation, Student Film, Feature Screenplay, Short Screenplay, Direction, Music Video, First-Time Director, Cinematography, Experimental Films, Editing, and Acting.

In addition, Special Jury Prizes, cash awards, and prizes from our sponsors will be awarded to several standout films and screenplays at the discretion of the Jury.  This year's festival will see over $10,000 in prizes awarded to the winners.
