SCREENING PROGRAMS

IFP/PHX, in conjunction with the Phoenix Film Festival, Phoenix Film Society and International Horror/Sci-Fi Film Festival offers year-round screening opportunities of all types of films.

The Phoenix Film Society offers monthly screenings of independent and studio features. IFP/PHX members are entitled to free admission to these. These screenings are held at Harkins Theatre locations around the Valley, usually Monday-Thursday.

IFP/PHX's Cinema Lounges are held bi-monthly, on a Friday night, and showcase short films and features made by Arizona filmmakers. A Q & A with filmmakers and this casual, fun atmosphere make these a must -attend. IFP/PHX members have free admission.

IFP/PHX members also receive free and discounted passes to Arizona's largest film festival, the Phoenix Film Festival. In 2008, over 20,000 people attended the Festival. In 2005, the International Horror/Sci-Fi Film Festival was created to showcase the best of these genre films. IFP/PHX members receive discounted passes to this annual Festival.

Throughout the year, IFP/PHX hosts film challenges. And along with the challenges, comes a screening. The Annual Spring Film Challenge is held right before the Phoenix Film Festival, with screenings at the Festival as part of the IFP/PHX showcase. The Annual 48 Hour Film Challenge, held in July, showcases the 33 entries to the annual challenge at Harkins Scottsdale 101.
