Musicians are also featured online on at http://biff1.com/music-2020/. 

We’re seeking musicians from 1-5 pieces for a variety of different stages:

  • Our Singer/Songwriter Showcase features original music solo or duo acts performing for filmgoers, guests, filmmakers, staff and the public. The stagefor the performances will likely be outdoors, location TBD. Each act will be asked to perform a single set of 25 minutes. Acts may also have the opportunity to perform before certain marquee screenings.
  • We’ll have a few full band slots for various events and stages as well throughout the Festival. All genres will be considered, but all music and lyrics must be an appropriate fit for an all-ages audience. Original music is preferred here as well, but we also have a need for instrumental bands such as jazz and R&B.

 About BIFF: The Boulder International Film Festival was named one of the “25 Coolest Film Festivals” in the world by MovieMaker Magazine and brings films and filmmakers from around the world to Boulder each year for a 4-day celebration of the art of cinema. BIFF has developed a reputation as one of the most influential young film festivals in the U.S., with an extraordinary number of new-but-unknown feature films, documentaries and shorts that have gone on from early screenings at BIFF to significant box-office success and multiple Oscar nominations.

BIFF attracts over 20,000 film enthusiasts, media, and industry each year. We have been proud to host and celebrate some of film’s most talented artists, including award-winning actors like Alec Baldwin, Martin Sheen, William H. Macy, Shirley MacLaine, Blythe Danner, Maria Bello, James Franco, Peter Fonda and Chevy Chase. Many other independent film artists and special guests have been honored including Oliver Stone, Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill), Anthony Bregman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind), Michael and Mark Polish (Northfork), Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree Congressman John Lewis (Freedom Riders) and screenwriter John August (Big Fish).
