Since 1999, a group of filmmakers meet every year in the worldwide known picturesque bavarian town called Oberammergau, to watch and talk independent films and how to rule the world. Now you can join this group.

IndieNuts opens their gates for everyone and founded the IndieNuts Awards festival.

The IndieNuts Awards is an international independent film festival based in Germany, that features a live screening event and business panel discussions. This guarantees unique PR opportunities towards independent filmmakers worldwide.
