About Us
Our Mission
The Abita Springs Film Festival (ASIFF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to celebrating the art of film and all forms
of creative expression. We provide a dynamic platform for
filmmakers and artists to share their work, recognizing the power of the arts to educate, entertain, and inspire. Through diverse
programming and educational initiatives, we aim to
empower emerging talent, promote inclusivity, and cultivate
a vibrant, multidisciplinary arts culture on Louisiana’s Northshore.
Our Festival
The Abita Springs International Film Festival takes place in the beautiful and historic town of Abita Springs, Louisiana. Known for its vibrant community of artists from diverse backgrounds, the town provides an ideal setting to inspire and
nurture independent film culture.
ASIFF welcomes submissions from around the world, while also
shining a spotlight on filmmakers from Louisiana. Our mission is to provide a platform for local, national, and international films—as well as other art forms—that capture the wonder and vibrancy of the world or simply share powerful stories of the human experience.
