  • In front of filmmakers

    IFN is built for independent filmmakers, who come here to watch independent film and submit their own.

Apply to be listed

Festivals in this directory asked to be listed, and IFN reviewed each listing. A listing is free and informational: it isn’t an endorsement, and it doesn’t mean the festival has partnered with IFN. Check dates and fees on the festival’s own site before you submit. Listings marked “Sponsored” are paid placements. Festival organizers can ask for changes or removal at info@theindiefilmnetwork.com.
