The Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival (CCI-IFF) is now accepting submissions for its 2026 festival.

Judged by a panel of industry luminaries, the CCI-IFF accepts genre-related films in multiple categories.

Awards and prizes will be given out at Comic-Con, with film screenings all four days of the event, scheduled for mid-July 2026.

All films must be appropriate for an all-ages audience. No nudity, excessive violence or swearing. Also, submitted films must be no longer than 95 minutes in length.

Each filmmaker may participate with only one submission. Films previously submitted to the CCI-IFF, whether accepted or denied, cannot be entered again.
