Crown Point International Film Festival (CPIFF) is a monthly and annual IMDb qualifying competition for filmmakers all over the world. Each month, our jury will award the best films through private screenings and have no connection to the films in competition. In addition to our monthly competition, our jury will select winning films from the entire year and nominate films to go on and compete in the annual Best of Fest awards.
All nominees for Best of Fest are announced every January. We want all our annual nominees to have their films seen and we are thrilled to announce our partnership with Entertainment Oxygen who will be our official streaming platform partner. The Best of Fest films have the opportunity to now reach a wider audience during our annual festival with both live and virtual screenings. Our live event for the 2024 Best of Fest will take place in the spring at The Logan Theatre in Chicago, IL. Distribution companies, Film Critics and Press will be invited to attend the annual live event.
