The Open Window Film X Animation Festival runs annually, and was created in the celebration of bringing Open Window student work to the bigger screens for the public to engage with.

Join us for the Open Window Film X Animation Festival, a vibrant celebration of independent cinema that pushes boundaries and ignites creativity in pursuit of creative voice.

Explore the raw, authentic storytelling that defines independent filmmaking through a curated selection of thought-provoking narratives and stunning visuals. Engage in lively subject-specific showcases and connect with fellow moving image and audio students.

Open your mind and let your imagination soar at this unique festival where every frame is a window into new worlds. Come celebrate the art of film and animation!

Winners and awards are selected by two different panels - one panel consists of some external medium-related practitioners, and some internal top management staff and lecturers. The other panel consists of subject-specific lecturers in different categories.

This festival is open to current (2024) Open Window students only.

It is up to the student to create a FilmFreeway profile, upload the required content correctly, and submit their entries before the stipulated deadlines. Once all submission have been received and the the deadlines past, all entrants will receive notification of their submission status.
