More than a million people visit Santa Fe Each Year. Santa Fe became the first U.S. city to be chosen by UNESCO as a Creative
City, one of only nine in the world. According to the New Mexico Film Commission, production companies have spent more than $486
million in the past seven years creating 370,000 work days for local film employees and a financial impact of nearly $1.5 billion.
Underground cinema, art films, innovative and experimental work, guerilla projects, and controversial films screened over six days in the heart
of historic downtown Santa Fe. Underground cinema describes films out of the mainstream in terms of Financing, Genre, or Style. The term "independent" has been co-opted by
major studios and in the tradition of the very successful Melbourne, Chicago, and New York Underground Festivals Santa Fe IFF intends to
showcase the best underground and truly independent films from all over the world. To date we have received submissions from Budapest,
South Korea, Germany, Canada, France, Italy, Spain, Iceland, China, Argentina, Switzerland, Navajo Nation, and Japan.
