IMFF 2025 Awards

We were elated with the outcome of the in-person film festival this year. That’s because everyone was exceptionally wonderful, as is always the case at our film festival. We embrace you!

Thank you to all our sponsors this year who supported the filmmakers around the world in our community.

Plus, a special thank you to Chuck Cook Photography!

We are grateful to the judges:

Not all filmmakers could attend in person, since this is an international film festival. However, we disclosed all the awards during the awards ceremony on Sunday evening. The winners are listed below. They will be added to the awards page soon.

We’ll be sharing photos and stories in the coming days and weeks.

The festival inspired us and we really enjoyed getting to know everyone, your stories, your dreams and your passion for the art of storytelling through film!

Everyone who won will receive an email from us in the coming days.
