About the festival

Falcon International Film Festival is changing the way that people think of short films. We are looking for the very best short films that are entertaining and tell a story. The sort of short films that people want to watch. That makes them laugh. Or cry. That shock and surprise.

OFFICIAL IMDB QUALIFYING AWARD

The new season is now open!! Send your movie and win our trophy.

Annual event in London with workshops, meetings and prizes night.

NOTE: you can choose one monthly category like "best feature film" or "best short" or directly the annual category "ANNUAL FESTIVAL" and participate in the annual festival directly if your movie is selected.

Every month we select movies.
The FIFFLONDON is a monthly festival with yearly live screening in London that awards the best movies from every corner of the planet.

We strongly believe that every movie is the result of hard work and, as such, they deserve our jury’s full attention during the evaluation and the best works deserve our acknowledgment and appreciation.

The selected movies, as well as the winners, will receive a golden laurel wreath, which can be used in advertising material.

As a part of this festival occurs every month, there are more chances to hang the golden laurel on your favourite movies!

The live screening location for 2021 will be in London!!

We show their movies and we announce the winners of the annual contest.
The winners of the monthly edition will automatically enter the annual competition, free of charge.
