“When I attend IFP Film Week, not one single minute of my time is wasted. The quality and diversity of the teams I met non-stop was mind-blowing. And the magic of it was that in the midst of this abundance of great, carefully selected projects, I felt it quite easy to zoom in on the few works-in-progress that truly drew my attention. I guess the IFP holds a secret recipe that no other event has. I don’t know how they do it, but they do it very well.”
-Michel Reilhac, Former Head of Cinema, ARTE & Transmedia Storyteller
IFP’s Independent Film Week is
The ONLY place in the U.S. where industry leaders gain access to over 175 new projects first– well before they are discovered at festivals or by general audiences.
