The Provincetown International Film Festival invites you to bask in the beauty of Cape Cod for five relaxing summer days of original and independent filmmaking. The quality and breadth of our programs offer more of what makes Provincetown famous: artistic adventure, intriguing entertainment, and a fun, friendly social scene.

The Festival was first produced in 1999, the same year Provincetown celebrated its 100th anniversary as America's oldest art colony. Today, the renowned Festival remains dedicated to showcasing independent American and international films, nurturing aspiring independent filmmakers, honoring industry luminaries, and preserving and sustaining cinema as an art form through educational forums.

As America's oldest continuing art colony, Provincetown beckons the curious, artistic, and playful. In this spirit, the Festival presents a vibrant and nostalgic selection of films and programs that reflect Provincetown's rich tradition of diversity, creative expression, and enlightenment. The town welcomes and calls you to celebrate filmmaking from around the world, and life on magical Cape Cod.
