ART HOUSE THEATER DAY

Art House Convergence (AHC) is thrilled to announce the return of Art House Theater Day (AHTD) on Thursday, July 24th, 2025. For one day only, AHC brings a series of independent films to mission-driven, community focused cinemas across the country to celebrate all that art house theaters - and independent film - contribute to our cultural landscape: ambitious and innovative art that provokes, challenges, entertains, and inspires.

IND/EX returns in 2026!

After much discussion, thoughtful attendee feedback, and stakeholder consideration, Art House Convergence (AHC) and Film Festival Alliance (FFA) are thrilled to announce the IND/EX conference will return in 2026.

For those looking to gather in-person in 2025, both AHC and FFA will be hosting in-person events throughout the year, starting with a joint event in Park City, UT at the Sundance Film Festival this January.

Stay tuned to our newsletters and social media for announcements on dates, location, and more details on all our upcoming events.
