Welcome to the home page of the American Motion Picture Society

We organize the world's longest running film and video festival open to the producers of non-commercial films.

The American International Film and Video Festival

We welcome entries from members and non-members, from individuals and groups of filmmakers, from students and from around the world.

The Festival is judged and there are awards for a wide range of achievement and the judges comments are sent to all entrants.


The 2007 festival is over, and the Results are in!

This beautiful trophy was presented to all the First, Second, and Third place winners in all categories. Wouldn't it look great on your trophy wall?

A DVD set (4 DVDs) of all the winning entries is available to be loaned out to any AMPS member who asks. Please contact Ned or Roger for details.
