The ISFF showcases the work of independent filmmakers amidst the mountainous backdrop of Colorado Springs, Colorado, just one hour south of Denver.

ISFF is about filmmakers, audiences, distributors and film professionals establishing a relationship and supporting independent film. ISFF has showcased an average of over 100 films from all over the globe, covering a variety of subjects and genres in three years. The festival has quickly become Colorado Springs' largest film festival, with numerous filmmakers and film fans attending screenings, Q & A sessions, filmmaker panels, parties and receptions. The 2011 films, quick schedule, film schedule and Opening Reception & Film are but a click away. A kickoff party at the SOUNDSHOP, SAT, APRIL 9, 2011 from 11am-2pm at 7 E. Cimarron & at City Rock Climbing Gym starting at 6pm is FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Boasting a broad, unrestricted selection of films, ISFF presents genre-specific awards, as well as Best Short, Feature, Documentary and Festival Director's Choice. Several films from previous years have achieved further success on the festival circuit and many films from all three years are available on DVD.
