The Cecil County Independent Film Festival is a yearly celebration for filmmakers and film lovers alike in the greater Mid-Atlantic area.

With films from as close as Cecil County and as far away as the Ukraine, this festival aims to bring new voices and bold choices to the Cecil County Community, be it in narrative, short form, documentarian, animation, and everything in between.

The Cecil County Independent Film Festival is currently seeking new volunteers to help with the 2023 festival! There are lots of ways to help as a festival volunteer/committee member!

If local, help with the physical festival introducing films, helping with Q&A's, helping with roundtable discussions, etc.
