Indie Meme Film Festival 2026

Our Flagship Program

April 22 - 26, 2026 | AFS Cinema | Austin, Texas

The 11th Indie Meme Film Festival is coming back April 2026, sharing the best of independent South Asian cinema in Austin with in-person screenings, Q&As, mixers, and filmmaker events.​

Submit Your Film!

Bring Your Story to the Heart of Texas 

Since 2013, the Indie Meme Film Festival has been championing bold, authentic storytelling from South Asia, connecting filmmakers with engaged, passionate audiences in Austin, Texas. 

​

Named “Best International Passport” by The Austin Chronicle, IMFF has become a go-to platform in the U.S. for powerful, distinctive voices from India, Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Bhutan, and beyond.

​

We curate films that move, challenge, and inspire—spanning social dramas, family sagas, comedies, documentaries, genre films, and experimental shorts. If your project tells a story rooted in the South Asian experience or perspective, we want to see it.
