The Best of Independent Film

At Newark Independent Film Festival, our vision is to be the premier destination for independent filmmakers and film enthusiasts from around the world. We strive to create an inclusive community where everyone can explore, discover and celebrate the power of film. Once again, we'll be showcasing short films from around the world.

Studios have quietly taken over some of the largest film festivals in the world to use as launching pads for their multimillion dollar projects. Our festival intends to do the opposite. We understand that film is an art form and we want to share your voices. We know how hard it is to produce projects for indie filmmakers and Newark Independent Film Festival is here to celebrate your achievement.

Film screenings will be held Chapel Street Players - a state-of-art theatre facility located at  643 Creek View Rd, Newark, DE 19711.
