A different kind of festival...

From the beginning the DCFF has distinguished itself from other

festivals by selecting the only the very best in true independent films.

Focusing on independent films and filmmakers rather than celebrities

and hype, the DCFF sets out to prove that quality films do not have

multi-million dollar budgets. Credit card advances, family loans,

selling plasma, doing whatever it takes to get your dream and vision

to the big screen are the types of films and filmmakers we showcase.

Those are true independent films.

Since the inaugural year in 2008 the DCFF has been

proud to host the World & U.S. Premieres of dozens of films

including several from right here in the Bluegrass State.

As we continue and grow each year it is becoming more

apparent that Louisville is taking major steps to not only become a

"go to" location to screen newly produced independent films,

but a place where independent film production can flourish as well.

So whether you are a filmmaker or just a lover of film,

we encourage you to come and be apart of the Derby City Film

Festival. We bet by the time you leave you wonder why every festival

doesn't do it this way.

See what you've been missing.
