Welcome to the Indie Spirit Film Festival

The Indie Spirit Film Festival (ISFF) is an annual event for filmmakers (professionals and students) and film lovers alike, with a superb program of feature films, shorts, docs, animation, and many other films from around the world. 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 its first four 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.

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 four years are available on DVD.

Now in its 5th year, the 2012 Indie Spirit Film Festival will take place April 19-22, 2012 on the Colorado College campus.
