Founded in 1996, The Palm Beach International Film Festival (PBIFF) was the brainchild of local business and civic leaders who felt a film festival would offer an exciting cultural venue for the community, be a tremendous fundraiser for film and TV education and would also provide an excellent opportunity to introduce filmmakers to the area's resources. The PBIFF celebrates both the history and the future of the film industry with seven days of world premieres, special events, seminars, feature, short films and documentaries. In 2003 PBIFF became a "Competitive" Festival; joining the ranks of other great film events such as: Sundance, Cannes, Toronto and Venice. The PBIFF has enjoyed a remarkable level a success to date. Unlike many festivals around the country, the PBIFF has dedicated itself to making a difference in the lives of young people by helping to fulfill their dreams in the world of film. Proceeds generated each year go to the Palm Beach County Schools to provide new technologies for optimal learning in the form of grants and scholarships.
The Palm Beach International Film Festival was organized to develop, coordinate and promote local, domestic and international independent films in Palm Beach County, and to increase public awareness of, and participation in, film as an art form. The Festival strives to recognize new and original voices, and channel that excitement into area schools in the form of grants and scholarships, offering student filmmakers an opportunity to pursue their dream for a career in the film industry.
" The Palm Beach International Film Festival strives to be the greatest means to ENGAGE the community around us through the magic of film, while EDUCATING themselves about the world issues, past present and future via one of the most ENTERTAINING and powerful mediums available to everyone today … FILM"
