Looking for films, short films, documentaries of contemporary indie cinema that you can't find in mainstream channels. Avant-garde, experiments, new languages: the cinema laboratory of the future. All screener in English must be subtitled in Italian. ALL NON-ENGLISH SCREENERS MUST BE SUBTITLED IN ITALIAN AND ENGLISH. ALL ENGLISH SCREENERS MUST BE SUBTITLED IN ITALIAN.

Indiecinema film festival allows audiences all over the world to discover the latest innovations and avant-garde languages of non-mainstream cinema. Our focus is on the invention that goes beyond pre-packaged and safe models to explore the new languages of the seventh art.

A festival to discover and promote the hidden treasures and filmmakers of "truly" independent cinema. In recent years, technology has "democratized" the art of cinema and allowed the birth of a creative ferment never seen before, works free from the usual "industrial" patterns that bring an air of renewal.

We think of cinema as art: the technical packaging of a film is not important to us but only its artistic quality. It doesn't matter what budget you shot your movie on. If it is engaging and exciting for the public, it is what we are looking for. We discover talents in order to promote them to the largest audience possible.

The selected films are distributed all over the world through the Indiecinema streaming channel and advertised through our channels.

Each film winner by the Indiecinema Film Festival will have the chance to be distributed and advertised on the Indiecinema streaming channel all over the world, with online marketing strategies: from social media to email marketing, to writing promotional articles for the films on the channel's blog.

All works must have been completed after 1 January 2019. They may could be presented at other festivals and screened in public and possibly not streamed for free on the Internet. Even more, the festival's Artistic Director reserves the right to choose also some works prior to 2019, in case of particularly high quality. The festival will take place with events in different locations throughout the year. The selected films will be screened in live events in Rome and offered in streaming on the Indiecinema platform throughout the duration of the festival, starting from the conclusion of the selections until the start of the next edition of the festival.

The screenings are scheduled live and online throughout the year starting from the conclusion of the selections and the sending of notifications to the directors with a calendar at the discretion of the festival organization.

    Excellent communication and press release of the film. However no feedback on the film screening itself or images to find out how it went.

    Response from festival:

    Hi Lewis! First, many thanks for your appeciation, upon festival's spirit, communication and organization. As you know we are very little, so we need such a feedback, even to grow.
    About pictures of Eliyah's evening.... just my fault: I don't know if you still read the mail I sent you last weekend, anyway I tried to tell you you that audience's feedback was positive and even more you could find some photos on my private FB page. But maybe you can't look at them just there!
    So, this morning I moved that album with a lot of pictures also to the festoval's official page.
    Here you are: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088426091567
    Can you open the page? You'lll see many pictures of movies and guests from England, just at the top...

    Take care!

  • Festival stupendo. Con una formula itinerante di proiezione. I lavori scelti sono tutti ottimi e il capocomico, Stefano Coccia, ha una cultura cinematografica e una passione assolutamente fuori dal comune.
