Columbus International Film & Animation Festival
2020
April 17-18, 2020
Now celebrating its 68th year, the festival introduces Central Ohio to the best independent filmmakers from around the world.
Through the years, the festival has honored thousands of films, filmmakers, and producers. The festival’s awards remain a revered prize for industry professionals, but the organization is equally passionate about supporting independent film. The juried competition focuses on rewarding the world’s best films, regardless of origin, while the festival serves to promote and screen more and more films every year.
Awards & Prizes
In addition to the prestigious Presidential Award, there are jury-selected awards in select categories and other distinctions. These awards are not limited by division, so all filmmakers are in consideration for these awards.
