About the festival

* We are currently accepting submissions for the 2021 edition! *

UPDATE: In light of Corona-virus, we want to assure our filmmakers that we are fully committed to run our events and honor all filmmakers who have submitted to us from around the world.

We are an exposition of the democratisation of filmmaking; a journey of artistic expressionism, compelling reportage and experimental story telling. A catalogue of ideas, opinions and revelations prepared by the emerging as well as the celebrated.

Stockholm Independent Film Festival (SIFF) is a gathering of young and old, experienced and new recruits to showcase their talent and passion in the art of film.

Our judges will be looking for films that are pushing the boundaries of contemporary storytelling. Inspire us or challenge us. An audience awaits ready to submit themselves to your creation and award those who successfully capture our imagination or spark our curiosity.

Screenings will take place at the historical Zita Folkets Biograf venue in the heart of Stockholm.

Following the screenings, there will be an awards ceremony and a networking event.

⚬⚬⚬

SIFF is organised by HF Productions, an international production company that runs several film festivals around the world. A collective of filmmakers, producers and marketing professionals with a common goal: to support and promote independent filmmaking at every step of the way.

Certificates and online distribution deals will be provided to all winners!
