Join us for our third annual Cactus Club Independent Film Festival! Through Moving Image, we hold monthly screenings from a wide range of artist-driven and independent media. As a series, we hope to offer a space for the community to engage with film and expanded cinema from makers from a variety of backgrounds.

Our festival specifically aims to feature makers of all backgrounds and levels of experience. Cactus Club Independent Film Fest was founded to accept a more diverse range of submissions, celebrating low budget independent films, bringing disabled, Queer, BIPOC, and underground filmmakers to the front, and material of any genre. We look forward to bringing back CCIFF for its third season!

Technicolor Bizzare-a collection of films that explore the fine line between reality and fantasy. Each exists in a melodrama. An emphasis on performance and re-enactment.
