Best Documentary Award is one of the online film festivals of the Best Film Awards - IMDb Qualifing Film Festival. Our film festival is a prestigious festival for filmmakers around the world, based in one of the most beautiful cities in the world – London.

Last year, we honored the directors who were shortlisted for Oscar and BAFTA nominations. The festival is based on a professional approach. In the evaluation, we focus on the technical design of the film, the idea of ​​the film, dramatic gradation, the tone of the film, the script, the conflict, the reality of the action, the acting performances and we attention to the details on which your film is composed.

We ourselves are filmmakers, producers and entrepreneurs. We know how difficult it is to show the world that someone appreciates your work. That's why we came up with a unique project in which we involved several jurors from around the world and created a new opportunity to show your film to the world. Our mission is to recognize talent and passion and to award the best film project.

Our festival can have a greater reach and be more effective for filmmakers than a live screening festival, because nowadays everyone in the world can watch online screenings, not just from one city.

If you win, you can register your project on our IMDb website:

  • As this was done on line the networking and hospitality didn't really come into it.
    But found everything else well organised - all you could want from a FF - really enjoyable and obviously all the more enjoyable as I was a winner too. Will definitely submit further work in the future to this FF. Thanks for having me
