IFC Audience Graph • Social Signal

IFC's top 10 neighbors span film studios, entertainment brands, a website, a film festival, a news publisher, a director, a theater organization, and a TV show — no single subcategory dominates, and the scores compress into a narrow band from 0.97 down to 0.95.

The shape is flat. IFC Films leads at 0.97, the only Film Studio in the top 10 alongside Janus Films at 0.95 — two of the four Film Studios that appear across the broader neighbor set. Criterion Collection (0.96, Entertainment) and Them. (0.95, Website) follow closely, with Sundance Film Festival (0.95, Events and Awards), VICE (0.95, News Publisher), David Lynch (0.95, Director), Playwrights Horizons (0.95, Other), IndieWire (0.95, Website), and The Black List (0.95, TV Show) rounding out the set. Notably, no other TV Channel appears in the top 10 — IFC's nearest audiences are shaped by independent film culture, arts media, and film-industry publishing rather than by peer channels. The mix of film studios, a festival, a director, and trade-adjacent websites points to an audience organized around independent and art-house cinema as a cultural identity, not around television consumption as a category.

The flat score distribution reinforces this: no single neighbor pulls away from the pack, suggesting the audience is defined by a coherent sensibility that maps evenly across several adjacent corners of arts and independent film media.
