Welcome to Various Artists Independent Film Festival (VAiFF)! We have two programming opportunities to fit both the new up-and-comers and the seasoned professionals. Up and Comers: We have year-long FALL, WINTER, SPRING, and SUMMER submission seasons culminating in our live FINALE in Chicago, Il. Our programming ranges from not only these short film competitors but live screening opportunities virtually for submitters worldwide. Competition Information: VAiFF is a quarterly competition with four submission periods. Each submission will have a clip/trailer created for it if it doesn't exist already. The clips will be posted on our website, and a 21-day online voting period will determine the projects that advance to the FINALE COMPETITION.

The FINALE COMPETITION means your entire project will screen at either the LIVE VAiFF event in Chicago or the virtual event in October 2023. Our festival includes film screenings, artist performances, workshops, panel discussions, networking, and employment opportunities. Seasoned Professionals: For those not looking to compete but looking only for festival laurel acceptance and recognition, you can still submit and it will be screened for inclusion in our live or virtual programming separate from the year-long competition listed above.
