ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

We are sponsored by Indiana University South Bend's Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts and supported by the non-for-profit Mid America Filmmakers group and the IUSB Alumni Association.

The only independent film festival of its kind in Northern Indiana, this  festival is open to anyone who makes shorts or features, on video or film, including high school and college students.

We began this festival to give Midwest filmmakers a forum to screen their works and meet other regional filmmakers. We also have received films from across the country as well as Canada, China and England.
