From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Heartland Film Festival)

The Heartland International Film Festival (HIFF) is an Academy Award qualifying film festival held each October in Indianapolis, Indiana, hosted by the nonprofit organization Heartland Film, Inc.[1][2] The festival was first held in 1992, with the goal to "inspire filmmakers and audiences through the transformative power of film".[3] HIFF accepts entries of feature-length films at least 40 minutes long, including student submissions.[4] Shorter films are accepted through Heartland Films' spinoff "Indy Shorts International Film Festival", also an Academy Award qualifying festival.[5][6][7]
