Banner Immigration Film Fest

Immigration Film Fest

Washington, United States


Celebrating its 12th year, the Immigration Film Fest (IFF) will be held in Washington, DC in Fall 2025!

The Immigration Film Fest is a festival hosted by KAMA DC, a volunteer-run nonprofit that is dedicated to promoting cultural exchange and celebrating the skills and stories of immigrants in the DMV area. We believe that immigrants bring unique perspectives and experiences that make our community stronger and more vibrant.

In the 12th year of the Immigration Film Fest, we seek thoughtful films that tell the stories of ordinary and extraordinary immigrants and refugees. The Immigration Film Fest is dedicated to bringing the power of film to spotlight and honor the stories of immigrants in society. We particularly encourage immigrant and student filmmakers to submit your films.

The 2025 Immigration Film Fest will be a hybrid festival with live screenings at DMV area venues and hosted online. Selected films will be provided exposure in Washington DC, where policy discussions about immigration are held by decision-makers, international media & thought leaders and where there is an enthusiastic audience for unique, creative films.

We appreciate your interest and encourage you to be part of the Immigration Film Fest in 2025.

We welcome you. Submit your film now!
