The Utah International Film Festival (UIFF) is an annual event dedicated to celebrating international independent cinema, committed to inspiring, creating, and innovating within the film industry. Established with the mission to connect filmmakers globally, the festival serves as a platform for artists to showcase their work, network, and collaborate. UIFF receives hundreds of submissions from worldwide storytellers and programs 100% of its film lineup through these submissions. The festival, which has grown to host filmmakers from across the globe since its humble beginnings in 2010, also features an awards show, VIP dinner, and various panels and workshops.
