ALL policies and festival plans are subject to change.
Indie Memphis abides by the COVID-19 policies of its venue partners and Shelby County Health Department. While COVID-19 vaccines and masking are not required at participating festival venues, we STRONGLY encourage our attendees to be vaccinated and mask while indoors. Read more about several options to experience the festival as we continue navigating the ongoing pandemic below. Policies are subject to change.
Due to the continuing crisis of the global pandemic, Indie Memphis will provide several different options to experience our 25th anniversary based on your personal comfort level. While our team is doing everything in our power to provide a safe and healthy environment it’s important that we’re completely transparent here. We acknowledge any and all efforts are not foolproof in terms of creating a solid solution to the ongoing pandemic.
Regardless of whether you’ll be joining us in-person or online, we are certain you will LOVE this year’s slate of films and discussions as much as we’re thrilled to share them with you!
Here’s what you can expect based on your preferred festival experience:
“I feel comfortable attending in-person screenings/events.”
While vaccinations are not required for attendees, we highly encourage them. Proof of COVID-19 vaccine is required for all staff, volunteers, and contractors. Learn where you can receive your free vaccination/booster here.
Masking among attendees is not required, but it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED – especially as cases rise. Masks will be required at all times indoors for all staff, volunteers, and contractors. Complimentary N95 masks will be available during the entirety of the festival.
