Stavanger Indie – The Independent Film Festival of Stavanger

Stavanger Indie is a brand-new film festival dedicated to bold, original, and independent cinema from around the world. Organized by Stavanger Filmmakers, a volunteer-run collective that has been fostering filmmaking talent for five years, the festival brings international indie films to a city with a thriving creative community.

For our inaugural edition, we’ll screen a curated selection of feature films and short films at Folken, August 29–30, 2025.

Stavanger Indie is a space for filmmakers and audiences to connect, featuring Q&As, networking opportunities, and unique festival experiences.

We welcome distinctive, independent work from all over the world—the low-budget, no-budget, deeply personal or boundary-pushing.

If your film is unconventional, daring, and unapologetically original, we want to see it!

 Tickets can be purchased via the schedule page or via the Folken website...
