As our festival, you can expect to find other filmmakers, artists and enthusiastic audiences. The Iowa Independent Film Festival offers wonderful networking opportunities with other artists. We are a festival that puts the notable work of the filmmaker first and at the most importance. Your experience at the festival is vital to us, and we put a lot of time and effort into making sure artists have a wonderful experience as much our attendees.
