Some festivals are built on tradition. Ours is built on boldness.

From the very beginning, Cindependent Film Festival was never just about screening films—it was about breaking barriers, creating opportunities, and fueling a movement. Founded by passionate filmmakers who believed that indie cinema deserved a louder voice, Cindependent has become a home for risk-takers, storytellers, and dreamers who refuse to play by the rules.

But a festival isn’t just its founders. It’s the community that brings it to life. The filmmakers who push boundaries. The audiences who crave something different. The artists, the volunteers, the supporters who make this more than just a festival—it’s a force of creative energy, constantly evolving, always daring to be more.

We’re not following in anyone’s footsteps. We’re building something legendary. And we’re just getting started.
