About This Cause
Since 1991 the Heartland Film has been bringing the world to Indianapolis through the art of story-telling through cinema. Now in it's 31st year, Heartland Film has become one of the most prestigious and sought after film festival’s in the United States. The 2019 Heartland International Film Festival will feature more than 300 screenings (with 49% directed by women), red carpet premieres, community events, fashionable parties, and private screenings. More than 200 filmmakers and industry professionals will be attendance providing unique opportunities for audiences to explore films in greater depth. Heartland Film also features the Indy Shorts International Film Festival, which has become one of the largest Short Film Festival's in North America. Indy Shorts is also recognized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences as an Oscar Award qualifying Festival in both narrative and documentary shorts categories. Heartland Film is also proud to boast that it maintains the largest cash prize purse and benefits to filmmakers, awarding more than $165,000 in 2018 and more than $3M over the last 27 years. More than 30,000 audience members will attend Heartland Film events in 2019 with partnering theatres and event centers in and Indianapolis and Central Indiana. We are proud to say that ours is an incredibly diverse audience from a wide-variety of backgrounds, ages, education, and income. One thing is certain though, great films attract and inspire. New audiences are still growing with 16% indicating attendance for the first time. Audiences primarily come to Indianapolis from the counties of Boone, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Marion, Madison, Morgan and Shelby. We are certain our strategic vision for growth will not only expand our audiences and engagement opportunities for our sponsors, but will enhance the options and experiences to our discerning audiences.
