Novella Film Festival is a microcosm of what the future of film should look like. It combines aspects of a traditional film festival with modern society's progression towards equality and diversity, giving voice to untold stories and helping young and/or inexperienced filmmakers get into the industry and make it their own. We want to create a space that inspires creativity and inclusivity, and provide filmmakers with the resources to continue doing what they love.
Our 10 categories are split into two subsections: Form and Perspective. The Form categories describe the more traditional format of film you are submitting, whereas the Perspective categories describe the narrative content and the point of view your film is coming from. Please note that for the Perspective categories, this represents the narrative content and not the cast and crew.
We are proud to offer high value cash prizes for all 10 of our categories, along with a choice of in-kind prize as well.
