Our third film festival this year, which is planned for mid-November, has changed its name to better accommodate our judges, submitters and other interested participants. Formerly the Colorado International Flat Earth Film Festival, we’re now the Colorado International SciFi & Fantasy Film Festival, #CISFFF 2018. Please update your websites/links and records accordingly.
Infinite Perimeter Films holds private live, not public, screenings. We also make available to our submitters the opportunity for online public viewing & voting via DOM.

“If your festival is listed as a ‘Film Festival with Live Screenings,’ your festival must hold a film festival at a physical venue with screenings in front of a live audience on the Event Date listed in your FilmFreeway listing. It is not permissible to hold multiple call for entries on FilmFreeway but only organize an actual live festival once during the year. You must hold an actual festival for each call for entries season you host on FilmFreeway.” Read more.
Our live events are planned to be held at Denver Open Media (DOM), which is a non-smoking venue. Light snacks via vending machines and water are available at the venue. Please do not bring “edibles” into DOM or on their property. Please consult DOM for more rules & guidelines. We regret that we are unable to screen live all of the amazing creative work we receive each year.
Here’s a few pictures from our debut activism festival. In 2017, we received 34 submissions. We screened some of the films and trailers in front of a live audience on Saturday, July 15, 2017, from 2-10 PM, Program CIAFF 2017, PDF. We also provided top award winners with an envelope containing a small amount of cash from the donations we received at our live event.
As our film festivals grow locally in our home state, Colorado, we hope to provide additional cash awards & prizes to talented activist filmmakers, musicians, photographers, artists and writers.

Is Cannabis dangerous? What about deaths related to Cannabis? Between 150 and 200 Americans die each year from complications related to food allergies. Moreover, allergic reactions to food resulted in approximately 317,000 visits to hospital emergency departments, outpatient clinics and physicians’ offices. In a typical year, nearly 100 American deaths are caused by bee stings. In the first half 2016, there were 17,775 deaths on the road involving car accidents.
By comparison, here’ a list of everyone who’s died from Cannabis overdose.
According to the June 2017 Colorado Medical Marijuana Registry report, almost 84,000 Coloradans have an active registration and 651 physicians have recommended it for one or more patients on the registry. While some people enjoy our (allegedly) constitutionally-protected right to access the multitude of medical & other benefits of 100% God-created, natural Cannabis & Hemp safely & lawfully in the comfort of our private homes, others are jailed by overzealous so-called Law Enforcement for the alleged “crime” of using living plants like mushrooms & herbs to ease the symptoms of health maladies such as mental & physical pain due to debilitating diseases such as PTSD and cancer.
Do You Have a Private Right to Use Cannabis? Read here. All political power – not merely some, but ALL power – is vested in and derived from the people; all government, of right, originates from the people, is founded upon their will only – so says The Constitution of the State of Colorado. Most state constitutions are similarly worded. Perhaps it’s time to update your WILL?
