The Phoenix Film Festival started in 2000 by three local filmmakers to get their films some exposure in their hometown. Twenty-two years and thousands of movies later, the Phoenix Film Foundation has grown from a three-day exhibition to an 11-day celebration of film with over 300 films, filmmaking seminars, parties, and student workshops for over 27,000 attendees, all at the Harkins Scottsdale 101.
The Phoenix Film Festival has been named one of The 25 Coolest Film Festivals and a Top 50 Worth the Entry Fee by “MovieMaker Magazine.” It has also been called, “The most filmmaker-friendly festival out there,” according to the festival.
The Phoenix Film Festival is a program under the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization Phoenix Film Foundation, and is connected to the Phoenix Film Society, International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival, Peoria Film Fest, IFP/Phoenix, Arizona Student Film Festival and Phoenix Critics Circle. Their mission is to, “Support and develop the artistic appreciation, educational opportunities and growth of independent film within Arizona.” The foundation’s primary functions through its programs are to promote the exhibition of independent films and conduct educational programs that teach the art of filmmaking, according to the organization.
