The Ashland Independent Film Festival is excited to share that we are returning to the spring!

“The Ashland Independent Film Festival is one of those festivals that works like a great chorus: all the elements - the town, the landscape, the venues, the programmers, the audiences, the other filmmakers - all work together and resonate in a wonderful and powerful way. Our first time at the festival we hope will not be our last…"
Alex Rivera, "The Infiltrators" AIFF2019
