Next Generation Indie Film Awards is a not-for-profit awards program for short films which is devoted to supporting filmmakers around the globe by recognizing excellence in filmmaking. We support filmmakers through our annual awards and other programs. We endeavor to assist filmmakers at any stage of the filmmaking process in reaching an audience, and we aim to advance filmmakers’ careers through services, education, and resources.

NGIFA recognizes excellence in more than 35 categories for independent short filmmaking!

We have partnered with film industry leaders to put together a prize package for the Winner of the Best Short Film category at the 2021 awards program. The Prize Package contains over $125,000 worth of credits towards film services and rentals aimed to help the winning filmmaker make a passion project in Los Angeles, California.
