Santa Fe Independent Film Festival - Santa Fe, New Mexico - October 17-21, 2018
The Santa Fe Independent Film Festival (SFIFF) began in 2009 as a fringe festival that took place in a community center. It invests in the advancement of independent, innovative, and cutting edge cinema bringing 5 days of excellence in filmmaking to the inclusive and diverse community of Santa Fe, New Mexico. By 2011 it was the largest event of its kind in New Mexico, screening over 100 films during a 5 day Fest. SFIFF has grown from humble beginnings to becoming one of the top annual events in New Mexico and has effectively extended the tourism season in Santa Fe into late October. In addition to the annual festival, the SFIFF hosts screenings throughout the year including a free outdoor community screening every summer as part of the annual summer series "Festival de Santa Fe."
