Amarillo International Film Festival

The Amarillo International Film Festival is a three-day festival presented by the Amarillo Film Society, with screenings at Arts in the Sunset and an opening reception at the Amarillo Museum of Art. It programs narrative and documentary features and shorts, student and animated films, and themed blocks such as a Friday night horror program. Cash prizes are substantial for a regional festival: $2,500 each for the top narrative and documentary features, $1,000 for top shorts, and a $1,000 award for the best film by a Texas Panhandle filmmaker or shot mostly in the Amarillo area. The third edition ran October 8–10, 2026; 2027 dates had not been posted.
