AZSFF 2021 Date is.....AUGUST 21, 2021

August 21, 2021.

Yes, it’s hot. Yes it’s August. Yes. it’s not April.

But here’s the deal. Movies are just better in a movie theatre. I’m sorry but they are. (and if you ask us, movies are just better at Harkins. It’s probably the popcorn). And one of the best things about the AZSFF is seeing your film that you worked so hard on in front of your friends and family on a screen way bigger than anything in your house.

So to do that (and make sure that we are all safe), we moved the festival to August. By then, we will able to safely get together and celebrate your awesome films!

And remember when we were like “we are changing the deadline?” Well, we’re like that again. We are going to push the deadline once more to give you the best chance at getting your work in on time. (Man, I so wish my teachers pushed the due dates).

So. our new and FINAL Official Deadline is March 12. Mark it on your calendar. Tell your teachers. Tell your parents. Tell your friends.

So March 12, get your films in.
August 21, watch it on the big screen at Harkins Scottsdale 101.

Stay safe, and keep filming!

DEADLINE UPDATE: February 25th

We know. This school year has been… interesting to say the least. I mean, you’re at school, you’re at home, you’re at school, you’re back at home…

That’s why we are giving you all a little more time to get your submissions in for the 2021 Arizona Student Film Festival.

Our Official Deadline is FEBRUARY 25. Mark it on your calendar.

Stay safe, filmmakers!

The Awards will be online!

We know you have waited so long for the AZSFF announcement. When will the films be screened? WILL the films be screened? Who will win?

No, you don’t get an Oscar if you win, but you do get a cool trophy that we will mail to you, so that’s almost the same. And the big winner will win a $1,000 scholarship which is better than an Academy Award if you are paying for school.

Well, we had some great screenings of the AZSFF at the 2020 Phoenix Film Festival on November 14. The early screening was sold out, and the second screening was pretty full as well (socially distanced full of course).

But we have been in contact with our filmmakers — many of whom were now off to college in other states — who were sad to be missing out on the festivities. So in order for all of our filmmakers to be there for the announcement of the winners, we decided to move the announcement to the official Phoenix Film Festival Awards livestream!

On Monday, November 23 at 5pm, we will be LIVE on Facebook from the Phoenix Film Festival offices announcing the winners of the Phoenix Film Festival, the International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival, the Phoenix Film Foundation awards and, of course the winners of the 2020 AZSFF!

This way, no matter where our AZSFF filmmakers are in the world, they will be able to see if they’ve won with all of the other filmmakers!

Good luck, and we will see you on Monday, November 23 at 5pm on Facebook Live

AZSFF2020 Date Change!
