As you know, World International Film Festival in the process this year of launching 25 simultaneous festivals in:
New York City, Los Angeles, Toronto, London, Hong Kong, Singapore, Melbourne, Berlin, Paris and many other cities.
At the same time, we are currently opening a new platform for filmmakers that will help them to submit their production to all our Film Festivals.
This new platform will be connected with a variety of World Festivals. So with just one click, your film will quickly go all around the world.
We plan to increase the quantity of our World Film Festivals up to 50 by the end of 2016 to include into our network the world’s main cities.
Our platform can submit your films to the theatres to screen them as well - which is very important for you the filmmakers. This is because we have strong connections with cinemas and theatres around the world.
Please use the search option to find your film.
If you film is on the site - send us the inquiry and we will give you access so you can edit your film.
If the film is not on the site, please enter and register on the site as a filmmaker, then use the film submission option in the menu and re-submit your film.
We apologize for any inconvenience we may have caused.
Some very important information for the filmmakers:
1) To select the films to be viewed at the festivals we are paying attention to many details and the film will pass through many stages and tests.
Please visit the link to the page below to see what mistakes filmmakers are making when sending their films to the festivals. If you have made any of these mistakes, please try to correct them to improve your submission’s chances over the next few hours or days: Typical mistakes made by Filmmakers

2) As you are all aware, all classic screenings start at USA and Canada locations.
If your film performs well - it will automatically be successful in other countries.
Apart from the Festival - Filmmakers who are interested in screening films in the USA and Canadian markets through our Distribution Company - Intellect Pictures can start doing so right now. For submission please contact us.
Interesting statistics (January 2016):
This year the quantity of films which passed the production stage has risen 8-10 times what it was last year.
What we have now is not 5,000 films per month like it was in 2014, but about 1,200 films a day!
Our festival’s platform is receiving about 100 new submissions daily.
In total, there are more than 350,000 filmmaking companies registered in the World.
There are currently about 5000 film festivals all over the world, and more than 120,000 distribution companies around the world.
The biggest and most prestigious festivals (Cannes and Sundance) are usually the hardest to break into because there is so much competition for a very limited number of slots.
In 2014, Sundance festival received nearly 6,000 submissions; it accepted only 255 of those films.
In just one month - September 2015, our film festival platform received 3217 submissions.
To get a film screened or get onto VOD becomes harder and harder each day.
