SFiFF and Violet Crown Announce Art House Cinema Series

Santa Fe International Film Festival (SFiFF) is partnering with Violet Crown to host a specially curated Art House Cinema Series in 2024.

A monthly series bringing dynamic and critically acclaimed films to Violet Crown, the Art House Cinema Series will feature new theatrical releases, international films, and films with local interest.

A Technicolor Gala on 35mm

Submit a Film to the Santa Fe International Film Festival

Dubbed “a young Sundance” by indieWire, SFiFF is a creative center for film in Santa Fe, allowing filmmakers to connect with industry and distributors. “In regards to the moviegoing spirit, think Toronto,” wrote Deadline Hollywood.

SFiFF promotes emerging and established filmmakers by screening features and shorts in one of the greatest art cities in the world. SFiFF provides over $100k in cash and prizes, filmmaker travel, juried awards, and all-access passes to the festival.
