WELCOME TO 'WHAT THE FILM' FESTIVAL
A Festival by Independent Filmmakers for Independent Filmmakers
What is the festival looking for in a submission?

Our festival is a celebration of Independent Filmmakers. In fact, the festival is by independent filmmakers for independent filmmakers!
We ensure that our judges have a diverse range of experience and backgrounds so that all films are viewed and judged fairly. Each judge will assess your film, scoring it from 1 to 10 against the following criteria:
- Originality and Creativity.
- Direction.
- Writing.
- Cinematography.
- Performances.
- Production Value.
- Pacing.
- Sound/Music.
Films with the highest scores, calculated against the available screening time, will be selected.
