🎬 72 hours left. We'll be honest: we're not where we hoped to be.

BUT we still believe in this community. For more than 25 years, the Phoenix Film Foundation has supported filmmakers, students, and audiences who believe in the power of storytelling. Today, we're asking for your help to continue that work.

If you've been considering a gift, there's never been a more important time.

We’re entering the final week of our $50K in 40 Days campaign.

So far, this incredible community has helped raise $16,090 to support the Phoenix Film Foundation’s year-round programs, including film education, filmmaker support, community screenings, workshops, and events.

We’re grateful for every dollar raised, but we still have a long way to go.

As public arts funding continues to shrink, organizations like ours increasingly rely on support from people who believe storytelling, creativity, and community matter.

If the Phoenix Film Festival, Film Society, a screening, workshop, panel, or educational program has ever impacted you, we hope you'll consider making a gift before the campaign ends.

Every donation helps.

As public arts funding continues to shrink, support from our community becomes even more important.

This is the Phoenix Film Festival. The movie lovers who fill the theaters. The friends who make a night of it. The laughter, reactions, conversations, and shared moments that happen between the opening scene and the final credits.

For us, it’s always been about bringing people together through film and creating an experience that feels bigger than just watching a movie.

Here’s a little glimpse into the energy, excitement, and community that make this festival so special year after year.

If Phoenix Film Festival has ever inspired you, entertained you, connected you, or simply given you a place to belong, now’s the time to support it. As we work toward our $50K in 40 Days goal, we’re asking this community to help keep that magic going.

Every great film festival has a community that believes in something bigger.

At the heart of that community are our volunteers, the ones who show up early, stay late, and give their time simply because they love film and what this festival represents.

From greeting guests to supporting filmmakers to keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes, your impact is felt in every moment.

To our volunteers, and to everyone who supports the Phoenix Film Foundation — thank you.

You are what makes this community so special.
