The Boulder International Film Festival brings films and filmmakers from around the world to Boulder for a four-day celebration of the art of cinema. BIFF, named one of the “25 Coolest Film Festivals” in the world by MovieMaker Magazine, offers feature-length narratives and documentaries, animation, shorts, tributes, symposiums, and more. The festival has developed a reputation as one of the most influential young film festivals in the U.S., with an extraordinary number of new-but-unknown films that have gone on from early screenings at BIFF to significant box-office success and multiple Oscar nominations.
