STIFF serves up a potent blend of truly indie film and transmedia storytelling - last year's event showcased over 130 films.
After 10 years of screening independent films we decided to re-focus the festival to showcase Transmedia projects along with Independent Films. We realize that there are some amazing storytellers working in other mediums that need a festival to show their works and to have a place to network with other storytellers. We are seeing more and more film festivals pop up each year while other forms of digital media are being ignored. We aim to be the place for digital storytellers to come each year and celebrate the many ways they are creating and sharing their stories
The Seattle True Independent Film Festival is dedicated to the exhibition of independent, underground and experimental films and transmedia projects. The festival endeavors to provide cultural exchange and educational opportunities by bringing a diverse selection of digital storytelling to the area and provide a place for networking between local artists, visiting artists and the public.
