Film Independent – Fi Presents

For 40 years, Film Independent has supported independent artists who are driving creativity in the industry. Film Independent’s mission is to champion creative independence in visual storytelling in all its forms, and to foster a culture of inclusion.We support a global community of artists and audiences who embody diversity, innovation, curiosity and uniqueness of vision.

The Golden Globe Foundation has provided longstanding support to Film Independent Presents, which offers the film-loving public the chance to engage with independent film and television through unique and year-round cinematic experiences, including screenings, conversations and special events like Live Reads. These screenings and events are presented both online and through venues in the Los Angeles area, as well as New York City.

The Golden Globe Foundation also generously underwrites 300 Film Independent Memberships and 25 Filmmaker Pro Memberships that are distributed to recent film school graduates and emerging filmmakers recommended by Golden Globe Foundation grantees. These Memberships widen accessibility to Film Independent’s robust film education programs and screenings, among many other benefits.
