HIFFCO Submissions Are Now Open! (Not a Joke!)


HIFFCO Submissions Are Now Open, Now Show Us What You’ve Got!

The moment is finally here! Submissions for the Horsetooth International Film Festival are officially open to filmmakers! As of April 1st (and it’s no joke), we are ready and waiting to hear from you.

Here’s what you need to know, and do, to make sure we receive your films in time for consideration:

  1. If you haven’t already signed up for Film Freeway, please do so now. We are using this online platform to manage the submission process. There you can see the categories available for submission and what’s required to submit. For more details, check out the Rules & Regulations. And yes- you can submit to more than one category when applicable!

  2. EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WORM - As of right now, and throughout the month of April, we are offering a discounted “Early Bird” rate for filmmakers who are ready to submit! This applies to all categories, including the already-discounted Colorado Film Category.

We can’t wait to see what you’ve made!
