NEW OPPORTUNITY! ➯ Expanding Our Festival Family:
Introducing Roswell Shorts
We’re proud to announce the launch of our sister festival, Roswell Shorts, an international short indie film festival based in Roswell, New Mexico. Curated by the producers of PAIFF, this exciting new event continues our mission of celebrating creative storytelling—this time with a spotlight on films under 60 minutes.
​
Roswell Shorts will debut September 26–27, 2025, strategically scheduled between two of the region’s most iconic cultural events: the National Championship Air Races and the Eastern New Mexico State Fair. This unique timing brings together a vibrant local audience and visiting creatives in one of the most storied towns in America.
​​
​Just like PAIFF, Roswell Shorts is committed to transparency, inclusivity, and championing bold voices in independent cinema. We invite our partners and sponsors to join us in this new venture as we extend our cinematic community across borders and genres.
​
Sponsors now have the unique opportunity to align their brand with both festivals—reaching diverse audiences in two vibrant cultural destinations.
