Winter Film Awards is New York City -- showcasing the eclectic diversity and excitement of the independent arts world. The Fest celebrates the outstanding work of emerging filmmakers in all genres from around the world, with an emphasis on highlighting underrepresented artists. Works of all lengths are considered for Festival screening, including narrative Fiction, Documentary, Web Series, Music Videos, Animation and Horror. All selected films are screened at New York City's best independent cinema.
Emerging filmmakers with low budgets and no connections are so often ignored in favor of the standard big budget generic action films. Exciting low-budget films are created all over the world; we need the opportunity to see them!
The 12th Annual Winter Film Awards International Film Festival runs February 21-25 2024, including awesome film screenings, cool discussion panels and super-fun parties at venues throughout NYC. The event concludes on February 25 with a glittering awards ceremony and red carpet gala at one of NYC’s premier nightclubs. We award over $50,000 in cash, prizes and distribution opportunities!
Winter Film Awards is an IMDB-qualifying Festival. Early Bird Deadline ... September 5, Regular Deadline ... October 15, Late Deadline ... November 4.
