Unless you hear otherwise, we’re planning to hold #CIAFF2020, Colorado Intl. Activism Film Festival and #CISFFF2020, Colorado Intl. SciFi & Fantasy Film Festival also online this year. Please provide us with your poster, headshot, stills, trailer and submission downloads via FilmFreeway or Vimeo, 1920 x 1080. Please consult venues and platforms directly for additional rules and guidelines. We’re happy to screen your trailers. Purchase monthly access now, $2.
“By screening online in a fixed-term, pay-wall enforced, official festival capacity, your submission is not earning revenue or being sold to consumers in a traditional VOD market and, therefore, remains viable for future sales opportunities.” If it’s good enough for SXSW, it’s good enough for us!

“With movie theaters shuttered and film festivals canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, films once slated for the big screen are now premiering in people’s homes, streaming on digital platforms or showing as video on demand. In an unprecedented move, the board governing the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will allow movies that originally had theatrical release dates but are now being screened online to be eligible to be considered for awards.”
“…Until now, to qualify for awards, a film had to run at least seven consecutive days in a commercial theater in Los Angeles County. Under the new rules, when theaters reopen, films may qualify for awards if they have theatrical runs in L.A., New York, California’s Bay Area, Chicago, Miami or Atlanta.” Read more, NPR.
Stay up to date, sign up for our mailing list. We very much appreciate your positive reviews. Thanks for sharing our awards and posts with your Colorado-based social media to include Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. We anticipate submissions from many countries. Activists submit short & feature-length films, screenplays, music/songs, art and photos for consideration by our team of 3-8 judges, which may change seasonally.
As our festivals grow locally in popularity & sponsorship, we hope to invite partners & volunteers. We hope to hold panels and debates. In the meantime, our live and online events may be lightly attended, so please plan accordingly.
All plans and practices are subject to change without notice. If you’re interested in volunteering, helping judge submissions and/or writing film & music reviews, which we may publish at our websites, please don’t hesitate to TEXT/CALL (720) 298-1524.
