Our motto is: Make a film. Change the world. The Mosaic World Film Fest presents quality independent work that may not otherwise be seen in commercial theaters, and represents filmmakers and film communities from around the world.
We are looking for competence in the filmmaking craft; work that has vision and spirit; original subjects with well-told stories; and diverse voices. We look for films that represent different facets of filmmaking, and polished productions to no-budget gems.
The festival welcomes comedy and drama and everything in between. We have categories for narrative, documentary, experimental, animated projects, and music videos of any length. We have both student and open awards for all of our categories. Entries from any country are accepted.
Our past MWFF fest judges have included some terrific filmmakers including: Oscar-winning director Dan Lindsay, Oscar-nominated and Sundance Film Festival winning director Bing Liu, TV and Film director Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, cinematographer Cynthia Pusheck A.S.C., production designer Kevin Conran, educator and filmmaker Camille DeBose, and many more.
The 13th annual fest will be held in Rockford, IL at The Nordlof Center on September 18th, 19th, and 20th 2020. For more information on us please visit the MWFF website: http://mosaicfilmfest.com or look for the hashtag #2020MWFF
Submissions for our 2021 fest will open on October 1st, 2020. The entry period for the 2020 fest will be October 1st, 2020 - June 15th, 2021.
Award certificates are presented to the best films in all categories as decided by our panel of industry professional judges.
