The Crossover International Festival of Film and Art returns in 2027 for four powerful days of storytelling, creativity, culture, workshops and global connection.

Taking place April 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, 2027, CIFFA will unite filmmakers, artists, musicians, industry professionals, and audiences for an unforgettable celebration of creativity and culture — both locally and worldwide.

CIFFA is more than a festival — it is a global platform dedicated to amplifying diverse voices, supporting underdog filmmakers, and helping meaningful stories reach broader audiences. Co-presented with the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts, the City of Tracy, and OWAF, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit public charity organization, CIFFA provides filmmakers and creators with meaningful exposure, industry connection, and opportunities for distribution.

Through strategic partnerships with distributors, streaming platforms, and industry associates, all accepted submissions will be given a distribution offer, with theatrical and/or digital opportunities depending on the content.

The vision of the Crossover International Festival of Film and Art is to become a leading global platform where independent filmmakers can showcase their work, connect with industry professionals, build partnerships with distributors, and reach global audiences. By nurturing emerging talent and championing diverse voices, CIFFA helps filmmakers and artists cross borders and cultures through the universal language of storytelling, music, art, and cinema.

CIFFA 2027 will be a 3-day international celebration where independent voices meet global audiences — bringing together communities and worldwide creators for an inspiring festival experience.
