Indy Film Fest Releases Full 10-Day Lineup

his morning Indy Film Fest, the Midwest's largest and fastest-growing film festival, released THE LINEUP for its entire 10-day run. From April 26- May 5, hundreds of film critics, lovers, and directors will flock to the Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields to view a lineup that represents the best in traditional and indie film from around the world.

At www.indyfilmfest.org, fans of film can see a schedule for all of the 140 feature-length and short films that will show at the 15th annual Fest. Sure-to-be favorites are When We Grow Up, a film with an entirely female crew and creative team and Film School Africa, a documentary about a woman who leaves a Los Angeles casting director job to teach filmmaking in an impoverished South African community; the subject and the director of this documentary went to Taylor University (Upland, Ind.). Both films have their world premiere at the Indy Film Fest. Another notable film is The Eight, a film about figure-eight racing directed by Indiana native Dan T. Hall. Hall's film "The Li'l River Rats" was one of the films to show at the very first Fest in 2004.

The best way to get access to these films is to become an Indy Film Fest Member. Ticket packages start at $50 and offer year-round benefits. All members receive discounts on individual ticket sales and merchandise, a member-exclusive t-shirt, access to parties and more! Fans of film, register at www.indyfilmfest.org/membership and get a discounted rate until April 12 on the Fest's Kickstarter.

The lineup release comes after the announcement earlier this week of the special features that will be headlining the Fest. The Fest kicks off with the opening night drama Tully from the team that created "Juno." The awards night film on April 28 will have moviegoers donning "dissent collars" with RBG, then the Fest will close on a comedic note on May 5 with The Long Dumb Road. The Long Dumb Road is directed by Indiana University graduate Hannah Fidell. Fidell is no stranger to the Indy Film Fest; she wrote and directed the 2011 short "We're Glad You're Here."

"Each film in this year's Fest is really bringing something special to the table," said Dan Moore, Indy Film Fest Executive Director. "Clear your calendars; I hope everyone is ready for days on end of great films."
