International Documentary Film Awards is online film festival which is organized once a year. We are one of a few short and feature documentary films festivals. Our goal for International Documentary film awards is to reach out to amateur, beginner and proffesional filmmakers and make a community of documentary filmmakers.
We cooperate with various distributors, to whom we regularly offer the best short and feature-length documentaries. If your documentary will be of interest to various investors or distributors, we will help you with the distribution of your film.
Selected films will be screened online. The best documentary will win a unique diploma of the International Documentary Film Awards. We try to support independent documentary creators in their work!
