The Anchorage International Film Festival (AIFF) is the largest film festival in Alaska. It is held annually in Anchorage. Its slogan is "Films Worth Freezing For."

AIFF has twice been named on lists in MovieMaker Magazine: in 2022 AIFF was named one of the "20 Best Film Festivals for New Filmmakers", and in 2023 Moviemaker Magazine named the AIFF one of the "25 Coolest Film Festivals in the World", both times while Ida Theresa Myklebost and John Gamache were directors of the festival.

Founded in 2001, the festival takes place annually in December. Around 100 films are shown in several diverse categories. As of June 2024, the festival is co-directed by Pat McGee and Adam Linkenhelt.

The main venue for AIFF is the Bear Tooth Theatre, which hosts the opening night celebration and several other films and events throughout the festival. AIFF also screens films at several venues around Anchorage, including the Anchorage Museum.
