Festival Description:

The St. Louis International Film Festival (SLIFF) is one of the largest and highest-profile international film festivals in the Midwest. SLIFF showcases the best in cutting-edge features and shorts from around the globe. The majority of the films screened – many of them critically lauded award-winners – will receive their only St. Louis exposure at the festival. Now in its 16th year, SLIFF is presented by the nonprofit Cinema St. Louis, which also annually produces the locally focused St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase and the CinemaSpoke screenwriting competition. In addition, Cinema St. Louis hosts educational programs, screenings, and special events throughout the year.
