About us

HAIFF Festival open its doors to all forms of independent filmmaking and art. Our dual emphasis is on “discovering” great talent with the purpose of promoting it to both the entertainment industry and the German public, as well as, showcasing the works of seasoned professionals and well-known stars.

Fiction films, animation, documentary and experimental works of any genre and subject are welcome!

Different from most film festivals is that we don't decline low budget productions. We will watch and consider every single production we receive no matter of nationality, budget, theme.

We also support filmmakers who have their projects on YouTube or other online platforms, and it does not disqualify their film from the festival.
