The 10th Annual PHOENIX FILM FESTIVAL (PFF), celebrating independent films and the filmmakers and writers behind them, in Arizona's sunny capital city.
Welcoming over 20,000 attendees each year, PFF provides wide exposure and frequently serves as a launching pad for indie titles. An impressive 80% of the Festival's competitive feature film selections have been picked up for distribution, including theatrical and studio DVD releases. Celebrating the auspicious tenth anniversary in 2010, PFF is gearing up for its most inclusive and ambitious edition yet, sealing its reputation as a festival equally focused on the strength of its programming and its commitment to the filmmaker experience. The Festival lavishes loads of southwestern hospitality on exhibiting film artists, and was named one of Moviemaker's "25 Coolest Film Festivals." All attending filmmakers receive two VIP passes, granting entry to any and all PFF festivities. Feature filmmakers also receive air transportation within the continental United States, hotel accommodations, and shuttle service to and from PFF's centralized venues. All seven of PFF's state-of-the-art screens are located under the same roof, and just a few steps away from the Party Pavilion, offering a jam-packed schedule of parties, seminars, panels, and other special events.

MISSION AND OBJECTIVE
The Phoenix Film Foundation is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to support and develop the growth of independent filmmaking in Arizona, to promote the exhibition of independent film, and to conduct educational programs that teach the art of filmmaking.

MORE ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
Filmmakers in competition vie for the coveted Copper Wing Trophy; winners from PFF 2009 include LIGHTBULB, THE WAY WE GET BY, and SHOOTING BEAUTY. And, while PFF wants to show the best films regardless of their premiere status, PFF 2009 did happen to feature the World Premieres of circuit darlings THE WAITING LIST and WAITING FOR OPHELIA, among others.

PFF alum Paul Osborne's soon-to-be-released documentary about the ups and downs of the film festival circuit, OFFICIAL REJECTION, unabashedly celebrates PFF, where the film debuted in 2009. Osborne gushes that "The Phoenix Film Festival is absolutely the best festival on the circuit, without question. From the staff to the programming to the all-important audience they draw, this is the ultimate festival experience" - a statement representative of the overwhelming praise echoed by numerous PFF alumni. Be there; submit your film or screenplay to the Phoenix Film Festival today!
