THe Sioux City international film festival
Since 2005, the Sioux City International Film Festival has showcased a variety of independent short films from all around the world. Each day of the Festival a different genre of film is featured. Those films in addition to being rated by a panel of judges are also voted on by the audience at the end of each film block. Cash prizes and trophies will be given to the juried selections. Audience Choice winners receive a certificate and the overall audience favorite receives a Siouxette trophy.
Our Mission
Promoting independent films and filmmakers to the people of Sioux City and the surrounding region.
“The festival committee is friendly and efficient. They really care which is very refreshing. If you are a filmmaker and get into their festival, I highly recommend attending.”
