서울독립영화제의 역사, 국내 유일 경쟁독립영화제의 태동
‘서울독립영화제’는 한 해 동안의 한국독립영화를 결산하는 국내 유일의 독립영화 경쟁영화제로서, 주제, 형식, 길이에 구분없이 공모하여 우수작을 시상한다.
1975년 한국청소년영화제의 전통을 계승한 영화제는 금관단편영화제와 한국독립단편영화제 등을 거쳐 1999년부터 오늘날과 같은 경쟁영화제로서의 틀을 갖추게 되었으며,
2001년부터 (사)한국독립영화협회와 영화진흥위원회가 공동 주최하고 있다.

Birth of Korea's Only Competition Independent Film Festival

The entry is open to any film without distinction of themes, forms and length, and the festival awards best films. Succeeding to the tradition of Korean Youth Film Festival in 1975, the SIFF set about establishing the system of competition film festival since 1999 after having gone through Keumgwan Short Film Festival and Korean Independent Short Film Festival. The Association of Korean Independent Film & Video and the Korean Film Council have co-hosted this festival since 2001.
