Independent Film Alliance Chicago

Formed in January 2020, The Independent Film Alliance Chicago is the result of a merger between Stage 18 and the Independent Film Project Chicago. We believe in the power of stories, and the agency of Chicago voices to share those stories. Located at Cinespace Film Studios Chicago. Furthermore, the IFA believes that sustaining an independent, creative film career in Chicago is not only possible, but it is vital to the cultural health and artistic identity of our city. A vibrant independent film community promotes a healthy creative class that is a sturdy economic engine, capable of widely disseminating diverse stories that entertain, enlighten and evoke empathy. We invite you to join us in lifting up creative voices across Chicagoland.
