Learn more about the Independent Spirit Awards.
The Film Independent Spirit Awards is the premier awards event for the independent film and television community. Each year, the Spirit Awards ceremony unites top talent from throughout the world of film and television. In addition to traditional categories such as Best Feature and Best Director, the Spirit Awards features a number of unique honors such as Best First Screenplay and the John Cassavetes Award (best feature under $1,000,000).
In 2021, the show introduced new categories celebrating outstanding television storytelling and performances and this year, two Best Breakthrough Performance categories make their debut. This year marks the show’s 38th anniversary – closing in on the big 4-0! – and it remains as exciting and original as the films, series and filmmakers honored.
NYWIFT is proud to celebrate nine of the organization’s members (including Indie Spirit Award nominee Ellie Foumbi) whose involvement in the seven film and television series nominated in 2023 contributed to the success of these projects. Congrats to our members!
