The Detroit Windsor International Film Festival (DWIFF), launched in 2008 is a publicly-attended film festival held each June with events taking place in both Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario. The festival is closely associated with Wayne State University as they incorporated their own preexisting student film festival into the DWIFF and many of the festivities are held on Wayne State's campus in Midtown Detroit.[1]

Events

Like most film festivals the DWIFF plays host to a variety of films ranging from student films to major Hollywood productions, but it is also known for special events that have been held as a part of the festival since its inception.[2]

DWIFF Challenge

Modeled after the 48 Hour Film Project contestants are assigned a genre, a character, a prop, and a line of dialogue, and have 48 hours to create a short film containing those elements. The submissions are then judged and given their own screening as a part of the festival.[3]

Tech Fair

Held at the College for Creative Studies the DWIFF Tech Fair provides viewers with a look at emerging technology and a variety of how-to courses on everything from personal electronics to film making.[4]

MovingMedia

Started in 2001, MovingMedia is the official film festival of Wayne State University. Inclusion in the festival is selective, and there is a juried competition, with prizes, open to students of Wayne State University and Invited Guest Institutions only.[5]
