Philadelphia International Filmmaker Awards

Philadelphia International Filmmaker Awards

Philadelphia International Filmmaker Awards is an online based bi-monthly festival. The festival is looking for independent projects from all genres, particularly low or no-budget ones, as well as from all countries, especially from those traditionally underrepresented in the global film industry. The submitted projects are judged through private screenings by a random team of invited experts from academia and film industry from the region. From the pool of official selection, which has a very competitive acceptance rate, PWFF chose the nominees and award winners of the edition.
