Heartland Film Revenue and Competitors

Heartland Film is a nonprofit arts organization founded in 1991 with the mission to inspire filmmakers and audiences through the transformative power of film. Heartland Film is a curator and supporter of purposeful filmmaking, honoring a wide variety of cinema and awarding storytellers from all over the world. Every October, the Heartland International Film Festival gives its moviegoers access to more than 200 visiting independent filmmakers from all over the world, right in the heart of the Midwest. Heartland International Film Festival (Oct. 7-17, 2021) showcases more than 200 independent films over 11 days of red carpet premieres and events, parties and hundreds of film screenings across Indianapolis. In 2018, the Heartland International Film Festival expanded to an all-new shorts fest, Indy Shorts International Film Festival (July 20-25, 2021), which has earned the special designation of being a qualifying festival for the Annual Academy Awards® within all three Short Film categories: Live Action, Documentary, and Animated. Each year, the Heartland International Film Festival and Indy Shorts awards more than $110,000 in cash prizes. Since 1992, Heartland Film has awarded more than $3.1 million to support indie filmmakers. Beyond the Heartland International Film Festival, Heartland Film honors theatrically-released films that align with its mission via the Truly Moving Picture Award, inspires the next generation of filmmakers via the Heartland Film Institute, and exhibits films across Indiana all year long via the Heartland Film Roadshow.
