The tenth annual IIFC was held March 5 through 10, 2019.[5][6][7]

As of 2019, the Grand Jury was composed of Wolfgang Bodison, Irene Bedard, Kristoff St. John, Conor O'Farrell, Juan Ruiz Anchia, Erika Christensen, Anne Archer and Peter Szebadi.[1]

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.[2]

The festival was the inspiration for the Glendale International Film Festival, which started in 2014.[8]
