Stavanger Indie – The Independent Film Festival of Stavanger
The first edition of Stavanger Indie was a massive success! On August 29–30, 2025, audiences packed into Folken to experience bold, original, and independent films from around the world. With screenings, filmmaker Q&As, networking, and one-of-a-kind festival moments, our debut edition showed just how much Stavanger is ready for an international indie film festival.

Organized by Stavanger Filmmakers—a volunteer-run collective that has been nurturing local filmmaking talent for over six years—the festival created an inspiring space where filmmakers and audiences connected around distinctive, daring, and personal cinema.

And this is only the beginning.
Stavanger Indie will return in 2026—bigger, bolder, and just as unapologetically original.

Tickets can be purchased via the Folken website...
