Submissions for the April 12-19th 2023 Film Festival are now closed. Thank you to all of our filmmakers for their submissions. We received 600 films from 50 countries! We will be letting filmmakers know what films have been programmed by Nov. 21, 2022. Website updates and 2023 schedule coming soon!
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival is to change the way we see each other through film. We promote inclusion, champion diversity, and empower all people, including people of color, women, and all of those who have been historically marginalized, to tell their stories through film and the digital arts. We celebrate underrepresented voices and the power of art to illuminate the human condition.
