The Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema (IIFC) is an independent film festival held since 2009 in Idyllwild, California . The festival is run by its founder, director Stephen Savage.[ 3] [ 4]
The tenth annual IIFC was held March 5 through 10, 2019.[ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
As of 2019, the Grand Jury was composed of Wolfgang Bodison , Irene Bedard , Kristoff St. John , Conor O'Farrell , Juan Ruiz Anchia , Erika Christensen , Anne Archer and Peter Szebadi.[ 1]
IIFC's schedule overlaps with the much larger Palm Springs International Film Festival in Palm Springs . Savage has said scheduling the festival in January helps the local economy during the slow season.[ 2]
The festival was the inspiration for the Glendale International Film Festival , which started in 2014.[ 8]
