Come and Celebrate Cinema with CKF International Film Festival:

CKF International Film Festival (CKFIFF) is an IMDb listed film festival, designed in UK for the indie filmmakers who would like to present their creative work with an understanding that it is submitted to a jury comprising of producers, filmmakers, independent script writers besides include alumni of Met Films Institute, London. As CKFIFF is organised to promote and collaborate with new and established filmmakers from various genres, we’ve kept the entry fee reasonable.

CKFIFF is currently headquartered in United Kingdom although our International judging panel and support partners are scattered across the globe. The festival submissions run every month. All monthly selections are notified at the end of the respective month or beginning of next month and monthly winners are notified on every 10th of next month. Once a year, we organise the annual CKFIFF Festival Event where we will screen the best of the final selected (refer Rule no.3) submissions from every month (except the Feature Film Category; their trailers, special excerpts'll be screened throughout during the Event) in a theatrical projector based presentation.

You are welcome to submit your current project(s) in multiple categories classified as "Films" based on duration (qualifies to compete for film and crew awards), "Actors" (qualifies to compete for cast/performer awards) and "Screenplay/Script" (qualifies to compete for screenplay/script awards).
