Description
The first Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival was held in 2001 at Mount Mercy University's McAuley Auditorium. In the 20+ years since, CRIFF has continued to provide a venue for Iowa-connected filmmakers to screen their work for peers and general audiences. The organization's primary goals are to encourage independent filmmakers with Iowa ties to continue improving their craft, to provide a place to specifically showcase Iowa-connected films, present a unique cultural event to the community, and to offer networking opportunities for the purpose of building the Iowa Filmmaking Industry.
Film provides a unique opportunity for an audience to experience different perspectives. We get to step into a character and feel part of the story. The Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival is proud to provide a platform where diverse stories are told. Year after year, we continue to learn, grow and be surprised.
