Film Submissions

FALL SERIES 2025

The VIMFF provides outdoor communities around the world with international mountain film screenings, live multimedia presentations, photo exhibitions, workshops, seminars and other special events.

We offer in person shows as well as virtual streaming events, and our World Tour travelling shows featuring award winning films. Driven by a passion for film, culture and the outdoors, we seek to advance the appreciation of films and film-making while inspiring, informing and educating the public in these areas.

The VIMFF runs two separate film submission drives for our main events – our Fall Series in November and our Festival in February.

VIMFF Fall Series 2025 film submissions are now open.

Visit our Film Freeway page for more information and to submit your mountain film for consideration. Submissions close on August 15, 2025.
