About IIFF

The Indian Independent Film Festival is an India-based international film festival competition. It holds monthly editions that qualify for its annual awards. Outstanding projects from the monthly competition, including official nominees for the annual awards, are featured at the Annual Awards event every year, along with a carefully chosen non-competitive section. The Indian Independent Film Festival occasionally hosts special screenings and Q&A sessions with cast and crew in addition to the regular awards cycle, which helps to advance communication and camaraderie within the filmmaking community.
