About Indie Meme 

IMFF was established in 2013 when co-founders Alka Bhanot and Tripti Bhatnagar couldn’t find a supporting festival for South Asian filmmakers in Austin. The organization began hosting screenings of South Asian films throughout the year and eventually grew to present their first Indie Meme Film Festival (IMFF) in 2016.

IMFF has since grown to include the most incredible talent working in South Asian cinema, with virtual and live Q&A with filmmakers and actors from all over India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Afghanistan, Iran, and more. This project is supported in part by the City of Austin Economic Development Department, Texas Commission on the Arts, and Humanities Texas, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
