IMI Fest Screenings
IMI Fest is a chance to share your work in person with an audience who gets it: people who care about independent media and the creativity behind it. Screenings bring digital projects off the feed and into a room, where they can be experienced with the focus and attention they deserve for a collective experience.
We are now accepting submissions of audio and video pieces under 25 minutes that have not yet been publicly released. We’re especially looking for work that makes the most of the medium: projects that could only be made independently, crafted with vision and originality. If you’re an independent creator with a story to tell, we want to showcase it at IMI Fest. Apply now to be part of the IMI Fest 2025 screenings.
