Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival

The 41st Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival (MSPIFF) will run March 31–April 14, 2022, bringing cinematic wonder to screens across the Twin Cities. The largest and most anticipated film festival in the region, and one of the longest running festivals in the US, MSPIFF annually presents 250+ new international, independent films to a broad community of movie lovers. MSPIFF champions artists from all backgrounds and stages of their careers. We promote the art of film as a medium for fostering cross-cultural understanding, education, entertainment, and exploration. Whether at screenings, Q&As, panel discussions, receptions, or parties, MSPIFF offers its 45,000+ attendees exciting opportunities to experience the wealth of international cinema and to engage with 150+ visiting filmmakers and talent from around the world. Our plans for the 2022 MSPIFF include a return to traditional in-person theater screenings as well as presenting virtual events that allow for greater audience participation and accessibility. We will closely monitor conditions and adhere to local, state, and federal health and safety guidelines. Films of all genres and lengths are encouraged to submit for consideration.
