SUBMIT YOUR FILM
Over the years, our film selection process has evolved due to the influx of high-quality submissions. We meticulously curate films characterized by exquisite craftsmanship in the categories of full-length features, short films, and documentaries. Our festival is also renowned for its Human Rights & Dignity category, a cornerstone performance grouping since our inception.
​
TRIFF waiver codes are provided on a case by case basis to filmmakers from countries that do not allow currency exchange with the US, and films that PCFI actively solicits for its film festivals.
