The festival circuit is an essential part of a short film’s life. Every year, thousands of films are submitted to festivals around the world, while festival teams have to manage increasingly large volumes of applications and information.

FilmFest was designed to facilitate these exchanges by bringing the different stages of the submission and selection process together on a single platform.

With 50 calls for films open at any given time, 7,500 new films registered every year and filmmakers from 107 nationalities, FilmFest has been supporting the short film community for 18 years.

FilmFest makes it easier for filmmakers and production companies to manage their festival submissions.

Users can create a film page, upload their files securely and submit their films online to participating festivals. They can also receive notifications when new calls for films are open and follow the progress of their applications directly from their dashboard.

The platform makes it possible to keep all the essential information in one place, from the film’s technical and artistic details to its different festival applications.

For festival teams, FilmFest offers a dedicated tool to manage calls for films from start to finish.

Festivals can open their submissions independently, define their selection criteria and receive applications directly through the platform. They can then access the films online or offline using the dedicated screening application and follow the activity and key figures of their call for films from their dashboard.

By centralising film information, submissions and communication, FilmFest helps festival teams organise their selection process and work together more efficiently.
