Celebrating The Heart Of The Artist

SUBMIT FILM

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.
