A Night You’ll Love!

When’s the last time you saw a movie that truly wowed you? Cindependent Film Festival is here and we’re ready to blow your cinematic mind. It’s not your typical movie night; it’s a multi-day celebration of powerful stories, creative voices, and films that make you feel and think about ideas and moments you may not have seen before.

With over 100 independent films and screenplays, we bring the power of authentic, real, and powerful cinema stories to you – alongside the people that created them.

In 2024, Cindependent brought 181 filmmakers to our festival from all over the world…..and we’re certain you will see these creators again, perhaps on some of your favorite streaming services in the near future.

With 3 days of indie film programming, live screenplay readings, masterclasses, networking and parties – we’re certain you will feel at ease at Cincinnati’s Home for Independent Filmmaking – Cindependent Film Festival.
