The Crossover International Festival of Film and Art returns in 2026 with a powerful celebration of storytelling, culture, and creativity. Known for spotlighting bold voices and groundbreaking independent cinema, CIFFA invites filmmakers and creators locally and from around the world to share their stories on a global stage.

Taking place on October 10, 2026, at the Grand Theatre Center for the Arts in Tracy, California, CIFFA will bring together filmmakers, artists, industry professionals, and audiences for a vibrant cultural event dedicated to the power of global storytelling.

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 with meaningful exposure, industry connection, and real 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 cross borders and cultures through the universal language of storytelling.

CIFFA 2026, Best of the Fest. A celebration of cinema, creativity, and stories that deserve to be seen.
