It’s that time again!

The Cedar Rapids Independent Film Festival holds its 21st edition April 5-7, 2024 at the Collins Road Theatres, 1462 Twixt Town Road, Marion, Iowa. CRIFF will celebrate the work of filmmakers from across the state, throughout the country, and around the world, all with connections to Iowa.

Selected films compete for Gold and Silver Eddy Awards and Audience Choice and Iowa Connection Awards, as well as a $1000 Collins Road Theatres Scholarship. The Official Selections always represent a wide variety of features, shorts, documentaries, music videos, and experimental films at StudentProAm and Professional levels. CRIFF is open to the general public, and the Saturday night Eddy Awards Ceremony, presented by Farmers State Bank, is free with any other Festival ticket purchase.
