The Phoenix Film Foundation believes that through the art of film, simple, well-told stories that come from a place of authenticity have the power to elevate the human spirit, break through social and cultural barriers, inspire creativity in people of all ages, and provide a shared communal experience which brings us all closer together.

The Phoenix Film Festival is proud to shine a spotlight on communities with historically underrepresented voices. Together with our community partners, we hope you will take the time to seek out these films and let these voices be heard.
