About this event
Combining exciting films, red carpet events, amazing musical performances and an interactive live show, SISFA takes film festivals to a whole new level. The festival will kick off with a Short Film Showcase Night, premiering select Colorado shorts, Late Night selections, and an assortment of additional shorts from across the United States. From there, guests will find themselves at the SISFA Kickoff Party where they can enjoy a bevy of local brews and live music from the best new indie artists at a local brewery in town. Day Two of the festival will feature an interactive panel and creative conversations with industry insiders, a Feature Film Showcase in Red Carpet fashion, and another riveting Short Film Showcase featuring even more incredible short films from all over the nation. It all leads up to the main event, combining live stage entertainment with amazing films. The show will begin with an exciting opening from the evening’s host followed by the presentation of the selected short films. The audience will then get to vote in select categories for their favorite films. A special musical performance will entertain guests as they enter the show’s second half, where in an Oscar-type fashion, awards are presented and the winners will accept them live on stage. The festival will then conclude with PartyMode, the SISFA After Party, where filmmakers and film fans alike can gather to relax, network and celebrate. Presented Live from the Louisa Performing Arts Center in Colorado Springs, CO, this annual fest brings together filmmakers, film fans, artists, and entertainers alike to share in several captivating days. There is no other event in Southern Colorado, or in the US in general, that is quite like SISFA. Here film isn't just watched, it's CELEBRATED.
