Your film!
Your story!
Your voice!
With the flaming symbol of a young poppy flower we provide you a platform to showcase YOUR WORK to the world.
The Poppy International Film Festival is dedicated to growing a cinematic future through the recognition, affirmation and promotion of filmmakers of all backgrounds.
We pride ourselves with a heavy focus on youth voices in film, a special interest in niche themes and are in full support of queer cinema.
The Festival uses a monthly format along with an annual live event presenting winners from each month's competition and is exclusive to the FilmFreeway platform.
