New World Film festival
New World Film festival
IMDb Film festival for professionals in the film industry.
Times are changing, it is no longer enough for a festival to show your film in a cinema. Filmmakers spend a lot of money on the festival circuit and what do you get in return? Laurels for your instagram? Have your movie screened in a theater with fewer than 100 people? This is not enough to take the next step in your career.
We created New World Film Festival to connect filmmakers with the film industry. We organize the festival for film producers and distributors. We collaborate with 15 international distributors and we have a network of +9,000 buyers.
In an exclusive online event for film professionals, your film will be seen by producers, filmmakers and distributors.
We will do the online award gala so you can see the results from your home with your team.
Finally, we believe a lot in exposure on social networks, that is why all registered projects will have a free post on Instagram
Why join New World?
1. Marketing. We are a festival that is very committed to promoting projects. We put a lot of effort into helping you at all stages and that is why we make a promotional post for all the projects entered in the festival. As a sign of this commitment you can check out our Instagram where we have helped more than 1,100 filmmakers and writers promote their projects.
2. We are an online festival but we will not publish your project online. The screenings are done privately among our team. This is very good for you because:
-Your project will not be seen online, so it will still be eligible for the other festivals.
-You will not lose the territorial premiere.
3. Very reduced fees. Currently the prices are more than 40% lower than most festivals. This is an effort that we make as a festival to help you in your career. We know that it is very difficult for independent artists to get funding (the vast majority of projects are self-financed), the rounds of festivals to promote your projects are very big efforts and from New World this is our grain of sand to help you on this path.
We are waiting for you with open arms to start helping you on this path. If you have any questions, please contact us. We will be happy to answer all your questions.
