The Wildlife Only Film Festival is the world's only film festival exclusively dedicated to celebrating film productions about wildlife.

This festival gives a voice to those that really don't have one. So no humans allowed on the screen that take away the limelight from the magnificent wild animals on earth.

This unique event solely celebrates the best and most captivating films and documentaries, with the most intriguing storytelling and topics that illuminate the beauty, diversity, and untamed wonders of our planet's wildlife.

The Award Categories are therefore exclusively dedicated to the celebration of each wildlife group separately giving them a platform to the world.
