Indie Street Film Festival is a week-long festival of independent cinema in Red Bank, New Jersey, founded by local arts advocates Jay Webb and Jim Scavone. It grew out of a cooperative distribution platform and keeps a focus on helping filmmakers with distribution and audience engagement whatever their budget. Narrative, documentary and animated features and shorts from the US and abroad screen at venues around the town, alongside panels, workshops, live art, music and networking events.

Separate juries judge the narrative and documentary competitions, and winners receive a hand-crafted Franklin Award; New Jersey filmmakers have their own spotlight programmes. The dates of the 11th edition are 17–23 August 2026; its line-up comprises 12 features and 50 short films.
