Carmel International Film Festival

Carmel is an idyllic little hamlet by the sea with world famous white sand beaches, a quaint European-inspired downtown shopping district, renowned restaurants and hotels.  Few places on Earth compare to the natural beauty and sophistication of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Founded in 2008, the Carmel International Film Festival is a non-profit 501(c)3 committed to supporting the arts in all its forms, with a special emphasis on nurturing the creative spirit in young people. Through year round community outreach, scholarships and grants, special festival programs, and the festival itself, CIFF gives artists a platform and a voice to pursue their creative visions and share them with the world.
