Festival description (Edition: )

Festival start: 14 June 2024 Festival end: 01 September 2024

Flatness Film Awards is an international independent film festival, committed to sharing great stories from both new and established international and domestic filmmakers from the world of independent cinema.
Thousands of films are made every year, but very few of these films meet with the audience and are rewarded. One of the features that makes our festival different is that it will bring your film to audiences from many countries.
We will select and award films every season and provide further marketing, distribution and online screening platforms for our award winners through our partners in media. Our aim is to draw wider attention to valuable filmmakers, and to provide a independent platform for appreciative and informed discussion of their work with a unique vision.
We accept films from around the world and honoring emerging filmmakers from every languages, genders, religious, ethnic and cultural perspective. There are no restrictions of any kind, except for duration.
Your film will be reviewed by a screener team and all the highest scored films will be selected for the official competition and will be reviewed by at least three judges who will decide the best of each quarter. Winners will be chosen by our international jury and receive Winning-Category Laurels and Certificates.
Each annual event is based in an annual cycle of 2-4 seasons rounds.
The event date in FilmFreeway designates the day of the announcement of the finalists of each season round. The special screenings as well as the annual awards have a different timeline that is announced through our website and social media outlets.
