The RIFF Awards – Rome Independent Film Festival, is an international independent film festival whose main goal is to promote contemporary cinema. The festival takes place in Rome in November over 7 days and showcases about 100 premieres of both Italian and international films which are distributed over 13 sections: first and second feature films, documentaries, short films, experimental films and animations, scripts and screenplays that stood out for their contents and techniques’ originality.
An international jury made up of qualified experts will assess the works in competition, and will, ultimately, assign prizes for a total value of 20 thousand Euros.

The Worldwide Women's Film Festival started in 2018 and supports women in film by educating and empowering women in the collaborative endeavor of filmmaking while we shine a light on women's stories and other diverse experiences across all genders. We are accepting film submissions until October 31, 2024. The film festival is March 7 - 9, 2024 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Panavision is sponsoring the Best Cinematography award. The winner will get free use of a $60K camera package for one year!

NYC's 13th annual WINTER FILM FESTIVAL is now open for submissions! We seek creative fresh voices from emerging filmmakers worldwide in all genres and lengths – feature length and shorts, narrative fiction, documentary, animation, horror, web series and music videos. 

Winter Film Festival is dedicated to helping emerging filmmakers get recognition and press – The festival includes a highly regarded filmmaker education series, all screenings include director Q&A sessions and we work to ensure our films get written articles, video promos and red carpet interviews. We create an SEO enhanced page on our website for each accepted film, written reviews for all films over 20 minutes and tons of on camera interviews.

Winter Film Festival Is New York City.  Like the city itself, we showcase the eclectic diversity and excitement of the independent arts world. 

RANKED AS ONE OF THE TOP 50 FILM FESTIVALS WORTH THE SUBMISSION FEE by MovieMaker Magazine AND consistently one of the TOP 100 REVIEWED FESTIVALS by Film Freeway, the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival (JDIFF) is known for its networking opportunities, best communication, quaint location, great programming, friendly staff & volunteers, inquisitive audience, multiple screening opportunities, workshops, panels, amazing events and parties and so much more! JDIFF is ALL about the independent filmmaker and truly geared for the best experience!

We offer free shuttle service throughout the festival (including airport pick up/drop off) as well as a HomeStay program where you can stay FREE with community families. Our Filmmaker Lounge offers a breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet FREE; making it an easy choice to attend. JDIFF has been quoted as THE film festival for independent filmmakers.

Majority of events and screenings are located on Main Street downtown Dubuque, all within walking distance and bordering the beautiful Mississippi River. Dubuque is a perfect background for the festival, with the headquarters located in the Hotel Julien, the same hotel where Al Capone used to hide out from the Chicago Feds.

Filmmakers have an opportunity for Q&A after all their screenings, as well as attend panels, filmmaker mingles, celebrations and other networking opportunities throughout the 5-day event. All films screen a minimum of 2 times during the festival.

As quoted by Klaus Eder, International Film Critic "…in the Midwest, JDIFF is one of the best opportunities, if not the best, to get updated on the recent production of American Indies…JDIFF works as a festival of Discoveries…”

“It felt like I had stayed in some sort of summer camp that was crossed with a film festival and left with so many filmmaker friends I’ve lost count.” Ash Blodgett, Filmmaker
