The eighth annual Chandler International Film Festival will begin on Friday, Jan. 19 and run through Jan. 28, at the LOOK Dine-in Cinema (1 W. Chandler Blvd.) in Downtown Chandler.
This year’s festival will feature a selection of international and local films. The 10-day festival will offer a lineup of events that includes industry workshops, Q&A discussions, nightly after parties in Downtown Chandler, a red carpet event on opening night, an award ceremony, and celebrity guest appearances by Dean Norris, Jacqueline Emerson, Tony Todd, Eric Roberts, Fivel Stewart, Jason Gray, Colours Swathi, Damon Whitaker, Mallory Everton, Sean Dillingham, Jon Fitzgerald, Bubba Ganter, and Spero Stamboulis.
CIFF will feature over 125 films from more than 35 countries. The film “Villans Inc.” will kick-off the festival on Friday, Jan. 19 with a Hollywood-style red carpet prior to the premiere at 6 p.m.
This year, the festival will be celebrating films from across the globe. Each day the festival will honor a different culture including European, Latin, Japanese, Native American, and Indian.
The festival will also include various industry workshops, open to the public for $15, hosted by Jon Fitzgerald, Mitesh Patel, Sean Dillingham, and Spero Stamboulis. Attendees can learn more about filmmaking, global distribution of films, film festivals, and acting.
Nightly "after parties" will take place around Downtown Chandler at La Ristra, The Uncommon, The Stillery, DTC Sports Grille, Recreo Cantina, West Alley, Craft 64, and The Perch Brewery. Entry is free and CIFF encourages the community to attend.
Additionally, industry professionals can network at “Coffee Connections,” held on Saturday and Sunday mornings throughout the festival.
