Taking place in Albuquerque, New Mexico since 2019, ABQ Indie Film Fest encompasses the city’s cinematic vibes and artistic atmosphere. Our screening programme consists of feature and short narratives, fiction and documentary films by local and international filmmakers.
We showcase emerging talents aiming to promote independent cinema and the power it has to give voice to people from all walks of life. In an age of instant media gratification, we aim to re-create a nostalgic space for that state of mind. We bring quality independent cinema from all around the world to the artistic cinema halls in the heart of Albuquerque.
