The Phoenix Film Festival started in 2001 by 3 local filmmakers as a way to get their films some exposure in their home town. Twenty-four years and thousands of movies later, the Phoenix Film Foundation has grown from a 3-day exhibition  to an 11 day celebration of film with over 250 films, filmmaking seminars, parties and student workshops for over 20,000 attendees all at the Harkins Scottsdale 101.

The Phoenix Film Festival has been n amed one of The 25 Coolest Film Festivals and a Top 50 Worth the Entry Fee by MovieMaker Magazine and has been called the most filmmaker-friendly festival out there. Most recently, we've also earned a spot on MovieMaker's 20 Great Film Festivals for First-Time Moviemakers.
