Chicago International Indie Film Festival (CIIFF)‍ ‍

Chicago International Indie Film Festival (CIIFF) believes in empowering the art of film-making by independent film-makers. CIIFF brings international films to local audiences by providing the film-makers a platform in the city of Chicago.  Our objective is to encourage independent filmmakers who explore diverse ideas and thereby promote dialogue pertaining to various issues globally. The film festival has received active participation by filmmakers and artists from Chicago and other states of the USA along with overseas artists who visited Illinois for the film festival. 

CIIFF brings international independent filmmakers and enables cultural exchange while manifesting talent in the city of Chicago. CIIFF aims to serve the film industry by supplying a forum for filmmakers to show their films to film buyers and distributors to view them. Moreover, the film festival serves as a medium for filmmakers to communicate and get associated with other film fabricators, media agents, professionals, qualified directors and supporters.
