The film series which are listed above take place in NYC, only because I’m more familiar with the events in NY.

There are film series which take place in every city. Some of the best places to check for the film series closest to you are local colleges and universities. Also you can contact your local film festival, and you'll find that either they have a film series or they will know of at least one.

Some of the best film series are run by film festivals; Toronto, SXSW, Hamptons, Tribeca, IFP, New Directors, etc...

Film series are events which you have to look for, unlike film festivals, most film series do not advertise and they depend on word-of-mouth.

A film series is a great place to meet people who also share a love for the art of independent cinema.
