A New Season of WISFFF is about to start. Wait for the White Stag Banner to Beckon you to Adventure!
The Wild Indie Sci-Fi & Fantasy Film Festival is soon back for a new season. Last season, the Phoenix from the Ashes was appropriate… this season the White Stag calls to you to follow us for an amazing adventure in film.
Welcome to the new season of WISFFF.
________________________________________
So, what is WISFFF?
We're an independent, filmmaker-run festival celebrating the films and filmmakers working in our favourite genres: science fiction, fantasy, horror and all the strange, wonderful things that live somewhere between them.
We're specifically a short-film festival, with categories for Micro (2 minute), Mini (10 minute) and Short (25 minute) films. We’ve been asked to run for full length features, but if you want that you’re going to have to bombard us with messages.
With WISFFF, you enter your film once and we assess it across all the categories for which it is eligible. You don't need to keep paying to enter cinematography, directing, VFX, performance, production design, etc. If we think you've done something particularly well, we want our judges to notice it.
There are awards, laurels and, in selected categories, prizes. We're always trying to find more useful prizes for filmmakers rather than simply adding things for the sake of having a longer list.
Prize sponsors and additions for the new season will be announced as they are confirmed.

WISFFF at Genesis Cinema, London
WISFFF found a home at Genesis Cinema in London, and we rather like it there.
It's a proper cinema with great character, awesome picture and stunning sound, but more importantly there's a wonderfully welcoming, film-obsessed atmosphere to the place.
Our screenings have increasingly become more than simply sitting in the dark watching films. Filmmakers meet filmmakers. People talk. Contacts get swapped. Projects get discussed. An unexpected amount of networking happens.
Which is exactly how we like it and we’ll encourage it more.
WISFFF continues to grow, with films arriving from around the world and an increasing range of ideas appearing on screen.
Please keep doing that.

Yes, Horror Counts.
We get asked this surprisingly often.
Yes. Horror is included. It even has its own subgenre award. Indeed last season a Horror won the overall award.
Science fiction, fantasy, horror, thriller, animation, fan films, pulp, comedy, documentary, music videos, pilots and films that are frankly rather difficult to describe are all welcome — provided there's a home for them somewhere within the wonderfully elastic boundaries of sci-fi and fantasy.
The festival is open to filmmakers from the UK, worldwide, the Up/Down/LSide/RSide Dimensions and, naturally, the Outer Spiral Arm of the Galaxy.
English is the festival's first language. Films in other languages are very welcome, but they need English subtitles/closed captions.

About Those Discount Codes…
If we've seen an advert, trailer or post for your film and sent you a discount or waiver code, there's a reason.
We'd genuinely like to see your film.
We make films and enter festivals ourselves, so we know how many automated "special offers" filmmakers receive during a festival marketing cycle.
That's not what we're trying to do.
If we've contacted you, something about your film caught our attention and made us think it might belong at WISFFF.
And if we didn't happen to see your advert?
Ask us.
Filmmaking is about networking after all.

A Small but Important Thing About WISFFF
We're independent.
We're filmmakers too.
We know what it's like to make something with too little money, too little time, a crew held together by enthusiasm and caffeine, and then send that film out into the festival world wondering whether anybody is actually going to watch it.
We watch the films.
That's rather the point… send those adventures in space, time, and magic our way.
Welcome to the new season of the Wild Indie Sci-Fi & Fantasy Film Festival.
Let's see what you've made.
Os Prémios Quirino surgiram em 2018 para reconhecer o talento da animação ibero-americana e estabelecer ligações entre a indústria de ambos os lados do Atlântico.
Dez anos depois, são o principal ponto de encontro do setor.
O que começou por ser uma gala reúne hoje uma cerimónia de entrega de prémios, um Fórum Internacional de Coprodução e Negócios e programas que abordam o futuro da indústria.
Todos os anos, Tenerife recebe profissionais da América Latina, Espanha, Portugal e Andorra durante três dias de gala, negócios e trabalho coletivo.
Em dez anos, os Prémios Quirino receberam mais de 2 200 obras candidatas, agendaram mais de 8 700 reuniões B2B e entregaram 85 prémios em 10 categorias a criadores de 23 nacionalidades ibero-americanas.

ShorTS International Film Festival (ShorTS IFF) is organised by the Maremetraggio Association and financed by public entities and private sponsors.
Since 2000, ShorTS IFF has been a landmark for short films and up and coming cinematographers at international level. In every edition, ShorTS IFF aims to make the short film genre known to a broad and heterogeneous audience, with particular attention to the young with specific sections for children and teenagers aged 6 to 15.
Cinema Camp Film Festival is a short film festival open to filmmakers from all over the world that has a double function: on one hand, serve as a platform for the dissemination of the short film in those places where it does not have much presence, and on the other hand, to function as an educational and formative tool, allowing the young spectators, who mostly make up their audience, to learn and draw inspiration from the visualization of the different cinematographic works.
The functioning of the festival, open to all types of audiences, is very simple: among all the short films received, a final selection will be made, which will be the one screened in the different sessions of the festival (which will take place in different Spanish cities at throughout the summer). Assistants to each of these projections will be the ones in charge of choosing their favoire short film. The short film that gets the most votes will win the Best Short Film Award of the festival.
Likewise, a specialized jury formed by professionals from the cinematographic sector will grant the different special mentions: Best Direction, Best Photography, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor/Actress.
“The Quarantine” is an international short film festival aimed at popularizing young and unknown authors among professional filmmakers’ circles. The festival is organized on completely voluntary basis, there are no screening fees and nobody receives any payment.
The festival takes place on the beach at “The Quarantine” fishing village which is the last standing fishing village in Varna, Bulgaria. The village is in danger of disappearing because a luxury residential complex is under construction on the coastline behind it. By provoking cultural exchange between contemporary artists from the whole world and locals, we intend to turn the fishing village into a culture and art zone and to preserve the fishermen’s way of life.
The name of the region “The Quarantine” comes from the past when sailors from commercial ships entering the harbour with suspicion of some kind of disease were taken ashore at the beach for the quarantine period of 40 days. In case they showed no signs of illness, they were allowed access to town. At present, the young authors who have still not found their realisation are in the state of a “Quarantine” – isolated by professional filmmakers’ circles. In analogy to the history of the location, we decided to name the festival “The Quarantine”.
FRAME Film Festival es un festival de cortometrajes itinerante, sin una única ubicación, que se celebrará en la provincia de Tarragona.
El FRAME Film Festival consta de dos fases.
• FASE CLASIFICATORIA
• FASE FINAL
El objetivo principal es difundir y promover la cinematografía en general y el cortometraje en particular, apoyando a las directoras y los directores de cortometrajes y creando un espacio donde puedan dar a conocer sus trabajos.
Pero sobre todo trabajamos para que las y los cineastas se sientan acogidos y vivan la experiencia de visitarnos cómo si estuvieran en familia. LA GRAN FAMILIA DEL CORTOMETRAJE!
Otro motivo es ampliar la oferta de eventos culturales para hacer llegar el cortometraje a a poblaciones que no tengan la oportunidad de disfrutar de nuestro cine en formato CORTO.
En el FRAME Film Festival queremos darle al público que sigue y disfruta los cortometrajes, la oportunidad de decidir sobre la selección de las películas que pasarán a la FASE FINAL para recibir los premios TALENTO FRAME.
“Cinema that Interrupts Silences”
The 5th Puno Film Festival – Hanan Cinema is organized and promoted by the Cultural Association Puno Audiovisual, an initiative that seeks to strengthen and diversify film production in the Puno region and throughout the country, while establishing bonds with sister nations of South and Central America.
In this fifth edition, the festival is held under the theme “Cinema that Interrupts Silences”, an invitation to recognize cinema as a space of expression that questions absences, reveals denied memories, and gives voice to territories, bodies, and communities historically silenced.
From the south of Peru, Hanan Cinema reaffirms its commitment to a cinema that listens, dialogues, and transforms.
The festival will take place from December 6 to 13, 2025, at Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world. It will be an in-person event, complemented by virtual activities that will allow participation from audiences across the globe.
Hanan Cinema continues to consolidate itself as a meeting space for filmmakers, critics, programmers, audiences, and communities, reaffirming that cinema is, above all, a collective creation.
