ABOUT IYFF.
The Indiana Youth Film Festival was created in 2023 with summer 2024 being our official innagural year! Every year, this festival will facilitate screenings, filmmaker talk backs, workshops, panels, and so much more for the young filmmakers of Indiana.
Filmmakers who submit to this festival will have a chance to win awards like Best Director, Best Cinematographer, Best High School Picture, and more. At the festival they are also able to connect with other local creatives at meet and greets, watch other films that are being created in their state, and make connections for potential collaborations!
OUR VALUES.
We celebrate and elevate works by BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women and other young individuals from traditionally marginalized communities. We aim to give young filmmakers a platform to present their work in the way it deserves to be watched.
