Carmel is an idyllic little hamlet by the sea with world famous white sand beaches, a quaint European inspired downtown shopping district, renowned restaurants and hotels, world renown golf courses -- So it stands to reason that Carmel would also be home to an international film festival. Screening over 120 films in unique and beautiful venues over five days, the festival is quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon on the West Coast and beyond. Few places on Earth compare to the natural beauty and sophistication of Carmel-by-the-Sea. The Carmel International Film Festival is a perfect opportunity to present your brand a great stage to an impressive target audience. Founded in 2008, the Carmel International Film Festival is a non-profit 501(c)3 committed to supporting the arts in all its forms, with a special emphasis on nurturing the creative spirit in young people. Through year round community outreach, scholarships and grants, special festival programs, and the festival itself, Carmel International Film Festival gives artists a platform and a voice to pursue their creative visions and share them with the world.
