Planning is once again in full swing, and films are now being accepted for submission, for the 2023 Klamath Independent Film Festival (KIFF) – scheduled for Sept. 20-22, 2024 at The Ross Ragland Theater and available online via Eventive. This year marks the 12th anniversary of the festival, once again featuring exclusively Made-in-Oregon films and/or films by Oregon resident filmmakers.
Films that were completed no later than Jan. 1, 2023 and were predominantly shot in Oregon or created by Oregon filmmakers are now being accepted via FilmFreeway. There is a $20 fee for submitting a film, submission fee waivers are available — please email info@klamathfilm.org for more details. Additionally, film submissions from Modoc and Siskiyou counties in Northern California will also be accepted.
Additionally, KIFF accepts student films from kindergarten through college for our northern and southern student categories. For these we provide waivers so that all student submissions are free. Contact info@klamathfilm.org for details.
Films will be accepted between Thursday, Feb. 1 and Saturday, June 1. Once the submission window closes multiple tiers of judges will review every submission, with selections for the 12th annual Klamath Independent Film Festival announced in mid-July.
