The Phoenix Film Foundation is a 501c3 Non-profit Organization whose purpose is to support and develop the growth of independent filmmaking in Arizona. The Foundation’s mission statement is to promote the exhibition of works by filmmakers and conduct educational programs that teach the art of independent filmmaking.

During the Festival, we hold a silent auction to raise money for the Phoenix Film Foundation.  Registered bidders can place bids online from any internet-enabled computer and via our mobile bidding application from any smartphone.  Access to online and mobile bidding lets festival attendees participate in the fun of silent auction and track their favorite items no matter where they’re located. All items are viewable online. During the festival opening weekend, select items will be on display in the Party Pavillion. Auction items range from limited edition framed and signed movie posters to donated items to local businesses and events, guaranteed to delight and surprise.
