2025 Festival Entries

Please submit via FilmFreeway with a secure online screener and password if needed.

Programming decisions are made by the festival directors and our selection committee. If accepted, we will notify filmmakers with the good news via FilmFreeway. Please respond as soon as possible. If you did not receive the acceptance email, please check your spam folder.

After acceptance, the exhibition format will need to be in our office two weeks before the festival. We do not pay rental fees for submitted work that is programmed.

Although the art of filmmaking is not competitive, AHFF does give accolades to films selected as best in various categories: Best Feature and Short, Best Director, Best Horror Comedy, Best Sci-Fi, Best Thriller, and many more. Visit the Awards Page.

Only festival alumni are eligible for entry fee waivers. Contact us about waivers only if you are an alumni with a new project you would like to enter.

Feel free to email us if you would like confirmation of entry.
