Anchorage International Film Festival

Celebrating 25 years, the Anchorage International Film Festival (AIFF) returns December 5 – 14, 2025, for ten unforgettable days of bold, independent cinema set against the stunning backdrop of Denai’na land. With screenings across four Anchorage venues—including the iconic Bear Tooth Theatrepub—and filmmaker-only excursions like glacier hikes and Northern Lights bonfires, AIFF offers more than just films; it’s a creative adventure built by and for filmmakers. From Sundance favorites to emerging Alaskan voices, we showcase fearless storytelling, meaningful connections, and unforgettable experiences that make AIFF the Icy Road to the Oscars. Films Worth Freezing For.
