Over 17,000 filmmakers, media, special guests and film enthusiasts attended BIFF 2011, along with Academy Award-winning Director Oliver Stone and Academy Award-nominated actor and Oscar host James Franco. During 4 days of screenings, workshops, panels and parties, BIFF 2012 will again unveil some of the best new films in international cinema.

Quite simply, The BIFF offers filmmakers superb hospitality, excellent exposure opportunities and huge, enthusiastic audiences, all combining to create a unique festival experience, Boulder-style. Filmmakers enjoy luxurious accommodations just a few blocks from the Festival's main venue - the historic 900-seat Boulder Theater - and receive a VIP pass to the galas and legendary parties, where plenty of elbow-rubbing with producers, directors, and critics is the norm. Great food and drink, skiing just 45 minutes from Boulder, and fantastic parties every night all add up to one of the most welcoming, filmmaker-friendly festivals on the circuit. Submit to BIFF today, you'll love it here. The Boulder International Film Festival is Feb 16 – 19, 2012 in Boulder, Colorado.
