Project Forum is
A meetings-driven forum connecting filmmakers who have new narrative and documentary projects in development, production, or post-production with key industry executives interested in identifying projects with which to become involved at the development, financing, or distribution stages.
A primary outcome for all filmmakers is the facilitation of career-spanning relationships with potential financiers, festival programmers, buyers, collaborators, and others. These invaluable relationships continue well beyond the five days of Independent Film Week.
To submit to any section of the Project Forum, you must meet the criteria of the program as well as be a current IFP member at any level (to join click here). If your project is selected, your participation in Independent Film Week’s Project Forum is complimentary. The only applicable fee is a submission fee and IFP membership.
Approximately 150 projects are selected each year for one of the following section:
