International Mobile Film Festival (IMFF) in San Diego, California is the first film festival in the world to encourage making movies with phones in a traditional live in-person film festival event that only accepts films shot with smartphones. IMFF is a global pioneer and unique platform launched in 2009 by Susy Botello aka Susan Botello with S. Botello Productions™ (2006). The festival attracts international filmmakers to San Diego every year to screen their films and celebrate the smartphone filmmaking movement.  

The 11th annual edition of IMFF brings 6 full length narrative films, 25 short films and 4 Rookie Award contenders to San Diego. All films are shot with only smartphones with the exception of not more than 10% aerial drone footage.

Our theme this year is: Elevate.
