About Me

The Detroit Windsor International Film Festival is a TRUE International event, with film screenings and activities on both sides of our beautiful shared river border.

The DWIFF combines all of our Creative Energies to create new opportunities that will ripple throughout our region, both culturally and economically.

Senator John F. Kelly is a long time supporter of Downtown Detroit, and has organized this first truly International Film Festival, to take place in both Downtown Detroit and the City of Windsor, Ontario, in the Summer of 2008.

This is NOT your traditional Film Festival.

In addition to a great selection of films, the DWIFF features additional activities that focus on education, professional development and promoting our local production capabilities to the worldwide industry. We'll have workshops, panel discussions, film competitions, demonstrations and social events that will create an environment of opportunity for the film industry.

This event is for our creative community- a rallying point for the entire community to collaborate on an event that shines the light on all of our collective talent, resources, enthusiasm and PASSION we have for the art of film, video, music and the entire entertainment industry!*************************************************

Right NOW, we have key TEAMS in place to handle various responsibilities. We need VOLUNTEERS today to help with these areas:

************************************************** We need YOU... the local community to help make this a success! Visit www.dwiff.org and register.
