The Idyllwild International Festival of Cinema (IIFC) is an independent film festival held since 2009 in Idyllwild, California. The festival is run by its founder, director Stephen Savage.[2][3]

IIFC's schedule overlaps with the much larger Palm Springs International Film Festival in Palm Springs. Savage has said scheduling the festival in January helps the local economy during the slow season.[1]

The festival was the inspiration for the Glendale International Film Festival, which started in 2014.[4]

At the closing ceremonies of the 2017 IIFC in the Rustic Theater, actress Anne Archer was a participant and presenter.[5]
