Hello filmmakers!

Welcome to TRIFF October Edition 2021

The Raw International Film Festival (TRIFF) is dedicated to celebrating the power of good cinema and original content by motivating aspiring filmmakers and cinema lovers. Our festival focuses on the innovative ideas, technology, excellent skills and artistry behind movie-making. We provide both entertaining and educational opportunities to filmmakers from all over the world.

Our festival is open for new submissions for 2021! We are going to do it online this year due to a pandemic. We will announce the results online on our website and share the laurels and certificates through email. Moreover, we will help you promote your film through all of our social media platforms. On our mutual agreement, we can even publish your film on our YouTube channel.

We will be in touch with you about judging responses and awards.
