Call for Entries: Independent Film Festival Boston, Deadline November 30!

The Independent Film Festival of Boston (IFFBoston) shows films that people might not get a chance to see anywhere else, films that are both innovative and crowd-pleasing. It offers the chance to meet the filmmakers at post-screening parties, and to ask them questions both after the films and at festival panels. The festival will run April 21 - 28, 2010.

IFFBoston is a mix of features, documentaries, and shorts with ticket prices lower than what it costs to see most first-run movies.

The success of IFFBoston can be attributed to the hard-working, passionate, and completely volunteer staff that puts in time year-round. It’s also thanks to our 100+ extra volunteers, our sponsors, our venues, and our community. And the success of IFFBoston is largely due to an audience that had long wanted and waited for just this kind of festival and continues to support it.

IFFBoston aims to put Boston back on the map for independent film.
