The Anatomy Crime – Horror International Film Festival (A.C.H.I.F.F.) is an annual international showcase dedicated to independent filmmakers. Founded in 2017 by THE BASEMENT, a nonprofit Cultural and Educational Organization (B.C.E.O.), the festival was built by creators, for creators.

In a film industry dominated by studios and massive budgets, independent voices often struggle to break through. A.C.H.I.F.F. exists to change that. We provide a platform where filmmakers with limited resources — but powerful stories — can share their vision with a global audience.

Why Submit to A.C.H.I.F.F.?

A Proven Legacy: For 9 years, we’ve screened hundreds of films, from 4‑day to 11‑day events, always spotlighting originality and bold storytelling.
