9FilmFest

We are thrilled to announce the call for submissions to the 11th annual 9FilmFest.

The festival is open to short films of all genres, including narrative, documentary, animation, and experimental films. We welcome submissions from both established and emerging filmmakers.

What is more rewarding than having your film selected for Competition? As Filmmakers, we take great pride in announcing that our film is in competition! “9” is the luckiest number in Thailand. Thus, 9 films are selected as Competition Finalists.

Having your film selected for competition can be important for several reasons:

Exposure: Being selected for competition can provide your film with a wider audience, including industry professionals, critics, and potential fans. This exposure can help your film gain recognition and potentially lead to further opportunities for distribution, funding, or future projects.

Prestige: Being selected for competition can also add prestige to your film and your reputation as a filmmaker. Winning an award or even being a finalist in a competitive festival can be a significant achievement and a source of pride for you and your team.

Validation: Being selected for competition can provide validation for the hard work and creativity you put into your film. It can be reassuring to know that your film was recognized by professionals in the industry, and this can help build your confidence as a filmmaker.

However, it's important to remember that competition isn't everything. If your film isn't selected for competition, it doesn't mean it's not a great film or that it won't find an audience.

Selected films will be screened at the festival, which will take place from November 1 - 2, 2024 at The Friese-Greene Club on Sukhumvit road. The Friese-Greene Club is a small, private member's club in Bangkok Thailand. It is dedicated to those people who have a passion for cinema; filmmakers, film students, film journalists, or film enthusiasts.

We believe that storytelling is a powerful way to connect people, and we are committed to showcasing the diverse perspectives and voices of filmmakers from around the world. The creative world is at your fingertips. 9Fest’s goal is to support filmmakers, applaud their hard work, spark creativity and provide opportunities for discovery. We want filmmaker's dreams to come true.

We look forward to receiving your submissions and celebrating the art of filmmaking!!
9Fest is ready to seeing your amazing stories in 2024!
