HONOR. CELEBRATE. PROMOTE.

This is the mantra of Avalonia Festival , a film festival you can trust ! Low entry fees and a website that actually HONORS, CELEBRATES and PROMOTES you and your work as a filmmaker, photographer and Actor! Check out our websites for the prior three festivals (Dec 2017, April 2018 and Dec 2018) and see why we we were named a FilmFreeway Top 100 Best Reviewed Film Festival several times!

Our website aims to promote our festival's winners! We know that most filmmakers cannot travel to make all the festivals they are accepted into; so we make our jam packed website an INTERACTIVE experience for the filmmaker and their fans! When every Avalonia Filmmaker sends their fans to our website, they are exposing EVERY OTHER WINNING FILMMAKER to new film fans and connections! Compare our website to any other festival and see that we earn your entry fees!

Many films (or their teasers or stills) are right on our website! Our concentration is on short films and this year we're raising the maximum time in most categories to 21 minutes and under ! Films 3 minutes or 1 minute or less in duration get additional savings on entry fees! Some categories like Web-Series and TV Series have longer run time cut-off and for longer films YOU MAY ENTER a "clip" , "preview" or "scene" in any category you feel is appropriate for your work.
