The Hollywood Cinema Festival takes place in Hollywood, California, USA & invites submissions from filmmakers all over the world and in every genre. We're all about story and visual storytelling, our festival will select the films that tell the best stories and connect with the audience the best.

We feel that by supporting filmmakers by giving them a venue to screen their movies in Hollywood that we are giving them a huge boost in exposure and kudos. As filmmakers ourselves we know how important and satisfying getting into the right festivals can be and we aim to provide the very best festival experience for all of the films selected.
The festival screenings will take place in Open Space (457 North Fairfax Avenue
Los Angeles, California 90036) in October 2018.
Admission is free.
We think it is very important to recognise great work, just being selected for our festival will be the mark of a great film but there is always a film or two that stands out from the crowd and we want to help shine a light on those films.
We will be giving awards in the following categories:
Best Feature
Best Short
Best Screenplay (multiple genres)
Best Actor
Best Actress
Best Director (Feature)
Best Director (Short)
Best Screenplay
Best in Festival
AND
Best Animation
Films must be entered into each category for which they would like to be considered. A separate entry fee must be paid for each category. If entering more than two categories please contact us for a discount.
All award winners will be presented with a specially designed award trophy of the highest quality.
We will also be awarding Merit Awards to works we think deserve a special mention, these films will receive Certificates of Merit.
