At CHCIFF, we value creativity and originality, and we are always on the lookout for captivating and thought-provoking films and documentaries. Whether it’s a feature-length masterpiece, a thought-provoking short film, or an experimental and boundary-pushing piece, we welcome submissions in various genres and styles.

Not only do we embrace traditional film formats, but we also encourage filmmakers to explore new and emerging technologies. Our festival proudly features podcasts, virtual reality experiences (VR 360), and even music videos that push the boundaries of visual storytelling. We believe that innovation and experimentation are essential for the growth of the film industry.

As a platform that celebrates the art of filmmaking, CHCIFF provides a unique opportunity for both students and seasoned filmmakers to showcase their talent. We understand the importance of supporting emerging voices in the industry, and we take pride in featuring works by talented students alongside established professionals.

Furthermore, our festival offers both competitive and non-competitive showcases. Industry professionals, who are well-versed in the craft, will serve as judges and select the winners. This ensures a fair evaluation process and provides a platform for talented filmmakers to gain recognition and exposure.

By participating in CHCIFF, filmmakers not only have the chance to showcase their work but also to connect with fellow industry professionals, engage in panel discussions, and attend workshops. We believe in fostering a sense of community among filmmakers and providing networking opportunities that can further propel their careers.
