The Heartland International Film Festival (HIFF) is a high academy qualifying film festival held each October in Indianapolis, Indiana, hosted by the nonprofit organization Heartland Film, Inc. [1] [2] The festival was first held in 1992, with the goal to "inspire filmmakers and audiences through the transformative power of film".
