Indie Street Film Festival

Indie Street Film Festival is a regional film and arts festival that combines its curated film selections with connective community events in order to celebrate human creativity and storytelling. ISFF is searching for films that voice high impact human stories from across all genres. We hand pick the most resourceful and innovative filmmakers from the US and across the globe to screen and connect with the engaged arts community of Red Bank and the Northeast. In just 5 years the festival has touted films that have also been official selections/nominees an d award winners at Sundance, Slamdance, SXSW, Spirit Awards, and the Oscars. The festival was born from a cooperative distribution platform, so focuses on education and nurturing of our filmmakers through the ever-evolving world of technology, distribution, and audience engagement, regardless of budget size and in spite of restrictive funding. Throughout the 5 day interactive festival, both filmmakers and attendees enjoy panel discussions, live art, music, education and networking events sponsored by local breweries and restaurants that provide artisanal food and drink for festival goers. In 2020, we presented a hybrid festival with drive-in and virtual screenings. We are tentatively planning for both in-person and online events in 2021, as well.
