Independent Filmmaker Project

IFP Week is the place where savvy industry insiders discover new talent and projects – first.

September 15 – 20, 2018

Featuring a curated selection of over 150 new feature, documentary, series and VR projects in development-post production from over 22 countries, it is a must attend event for financiers, distributors, producers, executives and festival programmers to access bold, original talent early. 

As the oldest and only co-production market in the U.S., IFP curates over 5000 customized meetings for executives during IFP Week at its Project Forum. Additional opportunities for discovery occur at Lab Showcase Screenings, Reading Series and Meet the Programmer Meetings.

Why IFP Week?

IFP has played a vital role in launching the careers of now-established directors including Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine), Moira Demos & Laura Ricciardi (Making a Murderer), Robert Eggers (The Witch), Ciro Guerra (Embrace of the Serpent), Barry Jenkins (Moonlight), David Lowery (A Ghost Story), Laura Poitras (Citizenfour), Dee Rees (Mudbound), Denis Villeneuve (Sicario), Roger Ross Williams (Life, Animated), and Behn Zeitlin (Beasts of the Southern Wild). 

This year marks the 40th anniversary of IFP Week. Be sure to stay tuned for the special events we have planned to mark this special occasion!
