Welcome to the Austin International Art Festival page, an IMDB qualified film festival. This is a festival for both short and featured films. We accept films from all over the world, from American filmmakers and international ones. The main criterion for participating in the festival is artistic criteria and merits. We hope to provide a suitable environment for introducing short and feature films.
The festival believes that many films are produced in today's world, and many of these films want to know their outcome as soon as possible. With this in mind, our program will be held seasonally. At first, all the works are reviewed and evaluated by the jury, and then, the jury announces the best result. If they want, seasonal winners can request a public online screening. Few of the winners will be selected for the physical screening. We also promote our winners through social media and issue certificates for our winners. The jury of the above festival has been chosen from expert members of cinema, from the university environment, from the working and professional background of cinema and the well-known cinema distributors.
We believe our structure is the best answer to the reality of contemporary filmmaking. It allows the filmmaker to be informed of his work's result in the shortest time possible.
