INDEPENDENT FILM AND TV ALLIANCE

The global trade association for independent film and television production and distribution companies.

The Independent Film & Television Alliance (IFTA) is the global trade association representing independent film and television production, distribution, and sales companies. IFTA serves as a forum for the industry, providing market intelligence, advocating for its members' interests, and presenting the annual American Film Market (AFM®). While IFTA primarily serves companies, understanding the independent film landscape it supports can be valuable for those seeking careers in this sector.
