    I'm quite honored that the London IIF nominated my "Serenade of the Vulture" script for their festival. Their team made all communications clear to understand, so I'm grateful to everyone there for their efforts. Thank you!

    I would like to congratulate the FFI London team for the wonderful festival. It was a great pleasure to meet filmmakers from all over the world and an honor to win the best documentary feature with The Human Era (youtu.be/VPvhc9cIJz4).

  • I am delighted that my documentary Beacon Farms was selected for FFI London and won the award for Science and Education. Communication was good overall but a little last minute when it came to confirming the location of the 3 day event, which took place at the Hilton Docklands in London. During the event they screened a good selection of the nominated films, ending with a charming awards dinner, where we met a wonderful mix of international filmmakers. Highly recommend this festival.

  • This festival took my money but i literally never heard a single thing from them again. Their website is painfully outdated, a lot of the links don't work, the information is old. All i am to assume is they are a scam, all these other reviews here are so old.
