In April 2018 at the 42nd CIFF, Ohio's premiere film event featured 469 films originating from over 72 countries and an attendance of 105,656 film-lovers – making CIFF one of the largest and longest running regional film festivals in the U.S.
CIFF is one of the few Academy Award® qualifying festivals in the world for all three categories of short films – live action, animated, and documentary. CIFF is also one of the only festivals that continues to provide written feedback from our selection committee for every film that is officially submitted. This past year, CIFF gave cash awards totaling nearly $130,000 to the winning filmmakers of 30 different competitions.
