the 57th annual Humboldt International Film Festival IS April 18-21
SUPPORT THE HUMBOLDT INT’L FILM FESTIVAL
…since 1967 the Humboldt Int’l Film Festival has been put together by the students to bring films from all across the globe to its audiences. With HIFF being 100% student-run we depend on donations to continue this 57 year tradition and maintaining our status as the oldest student-run festival in the world.
Still Reelin’ since 1967
The Humboldt Int’l Film Fest has been bringing independent, short films to Humboldt County for 57 years. As one of the world’s oldest student-run film festivals we have created a unique venue for traditional films and alternative digital media that enjoys an international reputation for supporting and celebrating independent filmmakers working in traditional, experimental, and non-traditional modes. Founded in 1967 by a group of film-loving Cal Poly Humboldt students the Festival has expanded over the years to feature 4 days of public screenings, workshops, and presentations by guest judges from the film industry each spring. The Humboldt Int’l Film Festival has also moved to a Virtual Streaming Platform to invite our international community and future-proof HIFF for the future.
The festival promotes the art of film, not only as a means of entertainment but also as a vehicle for self-expression and a stimulus for dialogue about social, political, and cultural issues.
