Cindependent Film Festival

🎥 Lights, Camera… A Night You’ll Love!🍿

When’s the last time you saw a movie that truly wowed you? Cindependent Film Festival is here and we’re ready to blow your cinematic mind. It’s not your typical movie night; it’s a multi-day celebration of powerful stories, creative voices, and films that make you feel and think about ideas and moments you may not have seen before.

With over 100 independent films and screenplays, we bring the power of authentic, real, and powerful cinema stories to you – alongside the people that created them. In 2024, Cindependent brought 181 filmmakers to our festival from all over the world…..and we’re certain you will see these creators again, perhaps on some of your favorite streaming services in the near future.

With 3 days of indie film programming, live screenplay readings, masterclasses, networking and parties – we’re certain you will feel at ease at Cincinnati’s Home for Independent Filmmaking – Cindependent Film Festival.

✨ Why This Festival Is Worth Your Time:

• Stories You’ll Remember: These films are personal, heartfelt, and made by some of the most talented filmmakers you’ve never heard of (yet).
• Meet the Filmmakers: Ever wonder what inspires a great story? Chat with the directors, producers, musicians, crew and actors who bring these incredible films to life.
• Good Company, Great Atmosphere: The crowd here? People who love movies as much as you do. You’ll leave with new friends and maybe a few restaurant recommendations, too.
• It’s More Than Movies: From Q&As to special events, there’s always something happening to keep the energy going.
