A Festival Recognized Around the World

TRUSTED BY FILMMAKERS WORLDWIDE

War of Films is an international film festival, focused on discovering the next generation of filmmakers. As an IMDb Qualifying festival, we offer categories for short films, features, and documentaries, providing a direct link to the global film industry.

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!
