INDIEFOCUS seeks to be the voice of the creator in a world where voices are silenced and a set of eyes for an audience that has lost its sight.

INDIEFOCUS Film Festival is the first of it's kind. An indie film, music and art publication visited by many on a daily basis has created a festival reflecting the current visionaries and voices that can change the world for a better tomorrow. INDIEFOCUS Film Festival provides exposure for international filmmakers and gives a front row seat to audiences in search of originality and creativity.

Our two-day event, hosted in Shoreditch, London includes some of the most innovative and compelling narrative features, shorts, documentaries, series, and experimental films.

What follows our screenings is a music video after-party along with live performances of emerging talent, there is no shortage of experiencing true art when you attend an INDIEFOCUS event.

A focus on quality storytelling that can change the world or at least create one for the duration of the event, join us!

INDIEFOCUS Film Festival is an initiative that is on course to consistently redefine and advance the presence and impact of the community in cinema, music and art.
