IFP Independent Filmmaker Conference Starts September 19th

This year IFP’s Independent Filmmaker Conference will run from September 19 – 23  in New York City. This five-day event consists of a packed schedule of panel discussions, networking opportunities and screenings offering  insight into the latest trends in the art and business of independent filmmaking. This conference is a must-attend event, especially for emerging artists.

Each day of the conference takes on a specific theme, from “Making Your First Feature” to “The Global Marketplace,” and features five or six corresponding panels throughout the day. Pioneering independent filmmakers and industry leaders sit on each panel.  

Most of the panels take place at Haft & Murphy at FIT in Midtown Manhattan, running from 10 am to 5:30 pm or 8 pm. See conference schedule and purchase passes (for whole conference or individual days) if interested.

This conference is not only a great opportunity for a comprehensive and current look at independent filmmaking but also a networking opportunity. Over 2,000 top executives, filmmakers, producers, students, distributors and new media experts attend.
