The AltFF Alternative Film Festival is an IMDb-qualifying quarterly event dedicated to providing filmmakers of all experience levels with an opportunity to receive festival awards. It accepts narrative, documentary, animation, and experimental films across various genres and lengths, including features, shorts, and ultra-shorts. The festival screens a selection of "Best Film" finalists at its quarterly event, while other nominated films are eligible for IMDb-approved awards, which filmmakers can list on their IMDb profiles. AltFF also offers printable PDF certificates and winners' laurels, and it has a sister festival, the Couch Film Festival.
