Welcome to Indy Film Fest 2023, courtesy of the team here at Film Yap! We’re excited to once again provide exhaustive coverage of the festival with reviews, interviews and news.
As we did last year with other festivals, we’ll be publishing our articles separately, though sometimes smaller capsule reviews from one category of films will be gathered in a single post. For our subscribers, we know that’s a whole lot of emails hitting your inbox, especially when combined with our regular ongoing coverage of theatrical, streaming and home video releases.
So once again we’ll be organizing everything into a single splashpage post — this one — as a one-stop shop with links to all IFF articles. Feel free to bookmark this page and check back regularly as we’ll be publishing new content every day of the fest, April 19-23 (with virtual viewing options available through the 30th).
Let’s have another great Indy Film Fest! And if you’re not already a subscriber, please consider signing up.
