The Amateur International Film Festival (AIFF) proudly launches its first edition, celebrating the spirit of amateur and independent filmmaking worldwide.
AIFF invites filmmakers from around the world to present works that explore creative storytelling, visual experimentation, and bold perspectives. The festival values the spirit of independent filmmaking and encourages films that reflect passion, innovation, and authenticity.
AIFF does not divide submissions into fiction and non-fiction categories. All forms of cinematic expression are welcome — including narrative films, documentaries, experimental works, hybrid forms, animation, and video art. The focus remains on the strength of the idea, the cinematic language, and the filmmaker’s unique vision.
By creating a dedicated exhibition space for amateur filmmakers, AIFF seeks to nurture creative dialogue, provide visibility to emerging talent, and build a supportive international community of storytellers.
The first edition of AIFF marks the beginning of a platform where new voices find their screen and ideas find their audience.

The 5th edition, entitled Furiously Blue, will take place on March 5–6, 2027, in a renowned Parisian cinema.

• Official Selection — short films (1–25 min) competing for the Blue Prize and the Audience Award
• Mid-Length Selection — mid-length films (26–60 min) competing for the Mid-Length Jury Prize
• Blue Laboratory — an off-competition program dedicated to experimental, daring, and unconventional works
The Blue Prize includes a €300 financial grant made possible thanks to the support of the festival’s sponsor.
BLEU PARIS welcomes professional and independent filmmakers from all countries and backgrounds.
More than a competition, BLEU PARIS aims to create a poetic, cinematic, and immersive experience where blue becomes a language of its own.

Otro motivo es ampliar la oferta de eventos culturales para hacer llegar el cortometraje a a poblaciones que no tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuestro cine en formato CORTO.

The Amber International Film Festival is a space for honest storytelling from across the globe. We believe cinema should not be confined by limits. It is built on creative freedom where every voice, every perspective and every form of expression is welcomed.
This did not start as a festival. It was just a few of us looking for a space where films could exist without cuts, without filters. What began as a small initiative became a community of filmmakers, dreamers and misfits connected by a love for cinema. It was never about perfection. It was always about perspective.
AIFF was created to connect, not to compete. In an industry driven by scale and perfection, we stand for something quieter: authenticity. Because at its heart, AIFF is not just about films. It is about building a culture where storytelling feels free, inclusive and truly human.
The objective is to present a selection of the best short films in the fiction, animation, experimental and documentary genres in order to allow the dissemination, dialogue and evaluation of the development and importance of the short film within audiovisual production.
