Independent Film. Bold Ideas. Real Connection.
For over two decades, the Ashland Independent Film Festival (AIFF) has brought audiences and filmmakers together to celebrate the power of story. We believe independent film is more than entertainment—it’s a catalyst for conversation and change.
From our home in beautiful Southern Oregon, AIFF has grown into a cornerstone of cultural life in the region, known for intimate screenings, engaging talkbacks, reflective experiences, and a strong sense of community. Each year, we present a carefully curated program of narratives, documentaries, and shorts—alongside forums, panels, annual programs and educational events that connect artists and audiences in meaningful ways.
Our impact extends beyond the screen. Through grassroots partnerships as well as volunteer-powered operations, we’re building a festival that’s inclusive rooted in the community we serve.
Whether you’re a lifelong film lover or discovering AIFF for the first time, you’re invited to join us in shaping the future of independent cinema.
Our 25th annual festival will be celebrated April 23-26th, 2026.
