IFC films is a production company with its headquarters based in New York. The independent company was founded in 1999 and has since then produced multiple motion pictures for niche audiences. IFC films is owned by parent company AMC Networks who has several subsidiaries including television channels in the US which feature films selected in the Sundance festival (SundanceTV)
Films produced by the company include;
- Fish Tank - a social realist film which follows the complicated life of a young working class girl - Budget £1.8 million - Box Office £1.5 million
- Boyhood - another social realist film filmed over a decade to follow the life of the same actor as he grew up - Budget $4 million - Box Office $44 million
- Farhenheit 9/11 - a controversial documentary film by Michael Moor that criticised the war on terror and the media and political reactions - Budget $6 million - $222.5 million
- The Human Centipede - another controversial film this time in the horror genre, it has been banned in several countries including the sequel in the UK- Box office - $252,206
As IFC films is an independent company that has produced other social realism films similar to ours before, we decided to use this company for our film as their films have an existing target audience. Films such as Fish Tank and Boyhood follow a similar theme to our film, Eighteen, by following the life on an individual in a realistic situation - not always with a happy ending.
