Help bring a shorts filmmaker to the 27th annual Provincetown International Film Festival, June 11-15, 2025.

The Provincetown International Film Festival (PIFF) is dedicated to showcasing new achievements in independent film and honoring the work of emerging as well as acclaimed directors, producers, and actors. PIFF is committed to serving communities who are often outside of the mainstream, in the margins, or otherwise underserved, but have a voice critical to the evolution of artistic expression. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, PIFF has permanently established itself as the largest cultural event in lower Cape Cod and Provincetown’s premier cultural event, attracting 10,000 plus film-goers, movie buffs, and arts patrons. This 5-day festival showcases over 80 American and international independent narrative, documentary, and animated features and shorts as well as panel discussions and special events.

PIFF is an Academy Qualifying Festival, and short films that receive an award at the Festival are considered by the Academy for an Academy Awards nomination.

Your sponsorship will help with housing and travel for a shorts filmmaker. You will receive a Lighthouse Pass to the Festival.
