2 About Us Founded in 2001, the Scottsdale International Film Festival celebrates humanity. We showcase a blend of films to satisfy a broad range of interests and tastes. There are smaller films for the appreciative, daring cineaste; and bigger, more mainstream films that reveal the burgeoning of the commercial market a wonderful mix of film genres from light-hearted comedies to period dramas, chosen from all corners of the world. During its 18-year history, the Festival has presented more than 650 films ranging from major Academy Award winners to undiscovered indie gems to more than 100,000 attendees. We pride ourselves on being the only film festival in the Valley with a focus on multicultural, art house, independent and foreign film. Highlights from 2017 The 2017 Scottsdale International Film Festival opened on November 2nd with a Western Themed VIP event, and a screening of The Ballad of Lefty Brown, written and directed by Jared Moshe, starring Bill Pullman as Lefty Brown, and featuring Kathy Baker, Jim Caviezel, Peter Fonda, Tommy Flanagan, and Michael Spears. Mainstream films to have their 2017 Scottsdale International Film Fest/Arizona premieres also included: Darkest Hour, Last Flag Flying, Love After Love and The Upside Goals Based on the success of the 2017 Festival and feedback from our attendees, the 18th annual event will expand from five to 10 days running from November 2nd through November 11th at the Harkins Shea 14 Theatres. We will run full day schedules on two consecutive weekends and nightly screenings during the week to better enable our audience to attend and enjoy.
