This project involves bringing students and teachers from different countries to participate with their films . Part of the program are even lectures and workshops of the movie professionals from different countries about film issues. We think that is very important for a student to confront with other students from around the world, so to know different cultures, different thoughts and to analyse the way their colleges work. We hope that First Step Fest will be a good chance young filmmakers in Albania to get inspiration and continue their dream.

With focus on traditional film making, where the story and characters are used to draw the audience into the film.
Another Independent International Film Festival (AIIFF) is unlike any other festival you’re going to be a part of. While we would like to see the newest films, we also believe that there are a lot of really good films that have been completed in the past and haven’t been seen by as many audiences as they could have.
AIIFF aims to connect filmmakers with talented people and interested audiences. Our core focus is on traditional film making. Through the love of film we strive to teach diverse audiences about films and making them.
Most film festivals will ask for only the newest films, with premiere status given to them. We’re the opposite of this idea, we want films completed BEFORE August 2015, if you have a film that was made sometime between August 1, 1890 and January 1, 2016, and have the rights to screen it, then we want to see your film!
AIIFF is a fund raiser for Chippewa Valley Community Television – The organization’s mission includes educating interested individuals of all ages about film and television production, civil discourse civic engagement, understanding what it means to live in a ‘free society’, and how to engage intelligently with one’s elected officials. All funds collected from the film festival go directly to helping Chippewa Valley Community Television.
