Regular deadline - July 1st, 2006. www.biff1.com. The Boulder International Film Festival (BIFF), sponsored in part by the Sundance Channel, is one of Colorado's most celebrated film events and has developed international recognition as a showcase for the best new films by today's most important new filmmakers and stars. At BIFF 2006, we hosted Golden-Globe nominated actress Maria Bello ?A History of Violence, The Cooler, Thank You for Smoking? along with many other stars, directors and producers, including Academy-Award nominee Eric Roberts, Screen Actor's Guild winner Marie Matiko, and Patrick Warburton ?Seinfeld?).

BIFF has the demonstrated ability to deliver huge, enthusiastic, film-hip audiences from the Denver metro area and the entire Rocky Mountain region. Over 8,000 filmmakers, national media, special guests and film enthusiasts attended the four-day BIFF 2006. Acceptance of your film for BIFF 2007 automatically places it in competition for the numerous Colorado Film Society Jury Awards, which include over $2,500 in prizes from Kodak.

Most importantly, BIFF is a festival run by and for filmmakers. Upon acceptance, we assign a filmmaker liaison to each filmmaker in the festival, and house you at an exclusive hotel and spa, just a few blocks from our main venue, the 850-seat Boulder Theater in downtown Boulder. There's great free food, great hospitality, and fantastic parties every night. All events, parties, films, and workshops are located within a 4-block radius on the legendary Pearl Street Mall.

The Boulder International Film Festival strongly encourages you to accompany your film to our festival... you'll have a great time at our filmmaker's forums and parties where you'll get a chance to rub egos with other accomplished filmmakers and with actors, distributors, and agents from throughout the world.
