Philadelphia Independent Film Festival 5 - June 20 - 24, 2012

About our festival:

With the US Metropolitan city of Philadelphia as its backdrop, the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival is a yearly meeting of the artist and business community that encompass the innovation, creativity, diversity, and uniqueness of film making and it's impact.

The Philadelphia Independent Film Festival provides an environment for its artists to engage and network in this broadening dialogue with a diverse and international community. --- We have great sponsors, a global media minded film community, and an enabled eco-system meeting at the same time. Join the festival.

We are committed to showcasing independently produced work by film makers who have created a unique cinematic experience that does not feel restrained by traditional boundaries but looks to seek outlets for their work. --- We screen Independent movies. Ask us what an Independent movie is.

Located in the City of Brotherly Love that loves you back, Philadelphia, this annual festival brings together peers, admirers, critics, creators, audience members, and on-line viewers of independent films to present, discuss, and experience the scope of independent movie maker possibilities. --- The long tradition of media and arts in Philadelphia is humbling. We are proud to be amongst such passion and do what we can.

Your support is greatly appreciated!
