War of Films is an IMDb Qualifying film festival offering a platform for independent filmmakers from around the world to showcase their talent and connect with industry professionals.

Our festival has attracted major stars and companies such as Susan Sarandon, Robin Williams, Ron Perlman, Epic Games, Lucy Liu, Danny Trejo, Michael K. Williams, John Turturro, Malcolm McDowell, Vinnie Jones, Bella Ramsey (Game of Thrones), and Oscar-nominated actor James Cromwell, all of whom have received awards at our festival. This positions War of Films as one of the most important festivals in the world, recognized for its support of independent filmmakers. Proof of this is the fact that more than 5,700 filmmakers from 120 countries have placed their trust in us.

Our festival collaborates with ten of the world's best film sales companies, regularly working with major platforms such as Netflix, HBO, and Amazon Video, along with over 14,000 buyers. This means that if your film is selected, you'll have the opportunity to connect with potential buyers and distributors, opening up new avenues for distribution and exposure.

Even if your film isn't selected, we offer distribution assistance. We understand that navigating the distribution landscape can be challenging, and we are committed to supporting our filmmakers in their distribution process. Through our distribution network, your film has the potential to reach the world's most important film markets, such as EFM Berlin, Cannes, MIPTV, Toronto, Hong Kong, NAPTE, MIPCOM, and Ventana Sur in Argentina.

Join us at the War of Films International Film Festival and let us help you connect with the film industry and take your film to the next level!

War of Films was a wonderful experience. Earning wins for Best Short Film, Best Actor (Danny Trejo), and an Honorable Mention (Jesse C. Boyd) for our crime thriller THE FIXER was truly a “killer” trifecta.

Festival Director Sergi G. provided excellent communication and top notch content promotion. I am grateful my work has been acknowledged and showcased along with such a high caliber of extremely talented filmmakers. Our greatest asset is each other. Thank you War of Films.

★★★★★

Having participated in what has to be close to a hundred or more film festivals over the years, the level of communication, organization, professionalism and thoughtfulness towards the filmmaker is unmatched when it comes to War of Films.

Sergi and his teams are the highest quality professionals, have a clear understanding of what it's like from the filmmaker's perspective and do a great job of not only communicating the status of your film (which is typically ignored by most festivals), but also of promoting and honoring those that are selected with the highest level of effort and quality. To be able to bring home four awards from War of Films is absolutely a point of pride for our film, and I look forward to submitting to this wonderful festival again in the future!
