Project Forum

Independent Filmmaker Project

A meetings-driven forum connecting new narrative & documentary projects in development, production, or post to key industry execs interested in identifying projects for development, financing, or distribution.

2019 Project Forum – Submissions are now closed.

A primary outcome for all artists is the facilitation of career-spanning relationships with potential financiers, theatrical & online content distributors & platforms, festival programmers, sales & talent agents, collaborators, & others. These invaluable relationships continue well beyond the 5 days of IFP Week.  140 projects are selected each year in the following sections:
