Indy Film Fest

About

The festival is dedicated to fostering new talent and helping filmmakers connect with the global industry. It is also dedicated to educating and developing audiences for international and independent cinema in Indianapolis, screening the kind of innovative, visionary work that may not normally achieve distribution in this area.

Awards

In each of these areas, a best short and feature-length film is recognized, as selected by the festival jury. Further, the festival presents an Audience Award for both a feature-length and short film in any category, as well as a Hoosier Lens award for eligible films with Indiana connections.
