A collaboration between IndieWire and Lavazza will bring a new energy to the 2026 Indie Spirit Awards, promising an enhanced experience for attendees and viewers alike.
The partnership, announced today, aims to elevate the celebration of independent filmmaking. The 2026 awards ceremony will feature unique activations and experiences, fueled by Lavazza’s renowned coffee offerings.
Content creator and filmmaker Reagan Yorke and IndieWire’s Christian Zilko will lead on-site coverage, conducting interviews with nominees and winners on the blue carpet and throughout the event.
