The CFS/BIFF Staff and Volunteer offices have moved from our former Garden Level (basement) headquarters on Pearl St. to an elegant suite of offices at 1906 13th Street, Suite 301, on the NE corner of 13th and Walnut, just three doors south of Connor O'Neill's.

Our big idea? Combine low entry fees with generous filmmaker hospitality and open our festival to gifted film artists worldwide. This principle has made the Boulder International Film Festival (BIFF) one of the most influential young film festivals in the U.S., with an extraordinary number of new-but-unknown feature films and shorts that have gone on from early screenings at BIFF to significant box-office success and multiple Oscar nominations. The late deadline is August 15. Get your film in now and check out biff1.com for more details!
