Thank you to MovieMaker Magazine for naming the Anchorage International Film Festival one of the 25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World for 2023! We are beyond excited and can’t wait to welcome the world to Anchorage again this winter. The 23rd edition of AIFF will take place December 1-9, 2023.

AIFF’s mission is to develop, promote and sustain a film festival that supports new media and independent film making in Alaska and around the world while enriching cultural and entertainment opportunities for Alaskans. Our nonprofit organization continues to play a part in expanding film screening and production opportunities throughout the state.

By bringing filmmakers from all parts of the country and world to Alaska, we want artists to connect with people they might not otherwise meet, and engage audiences in workshops, screenings, and plenty of celebratory parties.
