US International Film & Video Festival has been in operation since 1967. The Festival offers five mini-competitions in one by recognizing outstanding Corporate, Education, Entertainment, Documentary and Student productions. Entries are judged against peers, meaning Corporate competes with Corporate, Education against Education, and so on.
Accepting Corporate, Education, Entertainment, Documentary and Student productions
The 2016 US International Film & Video Festival has been launched with early pricing through Dec. 31, 2015, and a final deadline of March 1, 2016. The Festival recognizes outstanding Corporate, Education, Entertainment, Documentary and Student productions.
