12 annual AIFF| Call for Submissions
The Arlington Int’l Film Festival is proud to announce the Call for Submissions for its 12th Annual Festival scheduled November 3 – 6 at the Capitol Theatre, Arlington, MA, USA.
The festival highlights films with a focus on the arts, human rights, social justice, climate change, immigration, the refugee crisis, and disabilities. It will also screen films on the COVID-19 pandemic that examine the psychological and physical impact on the world. April Ranck, Executive Director of the AIFF states, “Films screened at the festival reflect a respect for humanity regardless of color, gender or religion and are brought to light through various genres of film.”
Finally, this year has been an exciting one for our viewers, judges, volunteers, partners, and sponsors. AIFF had the honor of screening three films in the 2021 Festival that will be competing for Academy Awards in their respective categories: Hunger War by Skye Fitzgerald (Short Doc/USA); Demic’s Panic by Bill Plympton (Animation/USA), and Archibald’s Syndrome by Daniel Perez (Short Nar/France). These films reflect the quality of storytelling that AIFF is proud to screen. Each year we look forward to receiving interesting artistic submissions and each year we are in awe of your inspiration and talent to create amazing films!
