The fall festival will run from Friday Nov. 6 through Sunday Nov. 15. Keep watching this site for more details!

Founded in 1985, The West Virginia International Film Festival (WVIFF} is the official international film festival of WV. For over two decades WVIFF has featured critically acclaimed and culturally diverse domestic and foreign language feature films most of which are unlikely to be exhibited in West Virginia commercial theaters. The WVIFF also holds an annual contest for WV student filmmakers, with a winners’ announcement ceremony as a part of the citywide FestivALL Charleston in June. WVIFF will celebrate its 25th Anniversary Fall Film Festival this year in November 2009. More information about these events will be available at a later date.
