Returning for the twelfth edition, The INDIs (Independent Directions) Film Awards champions and celebrates the talent of the UK’s young independent filmmakers up to the age of 25, and is a core of INDIs Film Festival+.
INDIs Film Festival+ celebrates and nurtures young filmmaking talent through screenings, workshops, industry and networking events.
For the first time since COVID, our awards screening will be in person! Before submitting, please check the event dates and make sure you are available to attend.
Films can be any genre, and be on any topic. We do accept films which look at or tackle challenging subject matters.
The INDIs is presented by Leeds Film, part of Leeds City Council, which also presents Leeds Young Film Festival and Leeds International Film Festival.
ALL ELIGIBLE FILMS WILL RECEIVE A NOMINEE LAUREL, shortlisted filmmakers will receive official selection laurels and the winner in each category will receive a winner's laurel.
Prizes are to be awarded to winners in each category.
AWARDS CATEGORIES are split both by age. The age groups are: 15-18, 19-21, 22-25. Please submit to the age category that reflects the ages of the majority of those who worked on the film.
