Peoria Film Fest
Emerging or unverified festival
Peoria Film Fest is a youth-oriented extension of the Phoenix Film Foundation’s festival programming in the Phoenix metro area, presented in Peoria’s west valley. It is notable for offering a single-venue, community-friendly festival experience and, in recent editions, has focused on family-friendly films while also showcasing a curated mix of features and shorts from emerging and established filmmakers. As part of the broader Phoenix Film Foundation ecosystem, it has regional significance as a local access point for festival audiences outside central Phoenix and Scottsdale.
