War of Films

IMDb Qualifier Film festival.

With more than 10 years of experience in international festivals, we released War of Films.

We are filmmakers like you. We know perfectly what it costs to finish a project and the difficulties that the independent filmmaker has.

For many years we also did round of festivals, we spent a lot of money but we saw that very few festivals helped us to take the next step. No festival connected us with film producers. No festival presented us with distributors ...

That is why we created War of Films. Connect filmmakers with the film industry and get distribution for your projects.

We organize a film festival totally free for the public so that it can attend the maximum number of public (if your film is shown and 20 people go, it is useless. We are interested in that the maximum number of public see your projects).

We believe that distribution is very important in the career of independent filmmakers. We collaborate with ten international distributors. And this is where War of Films differs from the other festivals. We help selected projects but also non-selected ones. We send all projects with sufficient potential for distribution.

That is why War of Films is the only festival to win international contracts for films that have not been selected by the festival. We try to help as many filmmakers as possible and we think this is the best way.

In just a few months of life, War of Films has already won two international contracts:

-Between Pain and Amen (7 years contract, international distribution and have achieved a two-year contract with Netflix)
-Zu den Sternen (5 years contract, international distribution)

At War of Films you not only participate in an international film festival, you also enter our distribution circle.

You can do all the international festivals you want. Once selected, you decide when to start the distribution !!!

SCREENPLAY COMPETITION:

Apart from giving the award for best screenplay, we also try to help the screenwriters. During the year some production companies ask us about the best scripts. As you know, finding a production for a script can take even years to come by, but we are always prepared to send the best scripts to the production companies that need them.
We accept scripts in English and Spanish.

Frequent questions:

When does the distribution start?

For us the easy thing would be to do the distribution in October and only of the winning film. But this is not the goal of war of Films, we want to be a unique festival in the world and help all possible filmmakers. We are committed to finding distribution to the winning films but throughout the year we do distribution rounds and show films discarded by the festival.

Could it be that my film is not selected by the festival, but that it gets a distribution contract?

Exactly, every year we do several rounds of distribution and we show the distributors the maximum number of possible works, that is why we are the only festival in the world that obtains distribution contracts for non-selected films.
