Independent Film Festival
The Antelope Valley College Independent Film Festival's goal is to celebrate films, filmmaking and the art of cinema, while educating and engaging the community with two days of screenings and panel discussions with filmmakers. It is our hope to provide a venue for filmmakers to exhibit their latest work, meet other filmmakers and discuss their work and their process while at the same time providing audience feedback though Q&A sessions.
