Edinburgh Film Awards

Edinburgh is a city steeped in a rich history of artistic and cultural significance, with a thriving film culture that has grown and evolved alongside it. That's why we're excited to present the Edinburgh Film Awards, an online seasonal international film festival that celebrates the art of filmmaking and brings together talented directors, producers, writers, actors, and crew members from all over the world.
Our festival is a unique platform for new talent and a celebration of cinematic creativity and innovation. We offer a diverse selection of shorts and features in every genre and format, providing the people of Edinburgh and visitors alike with an extraordinary chance to glimpse the future of cinema.
At the Edinburgh Film Awards, we pride ourselves on promoting the art of filmmaking and supporting independent filmmakers. We are open to any film in any genre, but we especially prioritize low-budget films of independent spirit and exciting new talent. Our goal is to provide a cultural alternative to the commercial film experience, utilizing the power of film to further inter-cultural understanding among nations and to assist in the building of a shared artistic experience.
Each season, films submitted to our festival are judged by our International Jury on their overall artistic and technical quality on a performance scale. A select few of the finalist films will be chosen for online screening and awards. Join us in celebrating the art of filmmaking and the vibrant film culture of Edinburgh at the Edinburgh Film Awards.
