2024 Film Independent Forum

September 27-28

Directors Guild of America, Los Angeles

The Film Independent Forum is designed to inspire and empower filmmakers by providing them the tools and connections needed to get their projects made and seen. Every year, this weekend event offers a communal experience filled with screenings, panels, workshops, one-on-one meetings, and networking receptions.

Head to the Forum Schedule page for more details on this year’s program, speakers and panelists, and our popular Industry Connect sessions.

 
The 2024 Forum will explore an evolving industry through a wider perspective of the world of cinema, where the definitions of fiction and nonfiction, big screen and small screen, and domestic and international are being redefined. The event will offer candid, of-the-moment conversations with a global twist, as we welcome many filmmakers participating across our international programs, presenting unique networking opportunities for all of our attendees.
 
Film Independent Members receive a significant discount on passes, which are FREE for Arts Circle Members, $149 for Members and $189 for Non-Members.
