Celebrate with us! 25 YEARS!! This year we have over 75 films to choose from. The Spokane International Film Festival is an intimate festival where filmmakers and audiences engage the art of cinema. We offer a small, selective offering of world-class films. These are the very best features, documentaries, and shorts that have been made around the world during the past year but have not yet been commercially released for wide distribution. SpIFF hosts a variety of parties, events, and filmmaker panels that are open to the public and encourage lively and educational interactions between filmmakers and our audiences.

“From the amazing selection of films … to the wonderful audiences that came out, I could not have asked for a better time. I’m honored to have been a guest at such a cool festival…”

Howard Ng, Director of The Inquisitive Snail

"The venues, events and staff were well organized, impressive and memorable, and I've yet to encounter a more engaged, enthusiastic and conversational audience.”

- Ian Ebright, Writer/Director of From the Sky

“The festival brought together a thoughtful group of filmmakers and provided a platform for participation, something too often lost at larger events. Overall, I found it to be a great town with a lot of heart, and an outstanding film festival with a strong sense of community.”

- Adam Michael Becker, Director / Cinematographer of REAL CHANGE
