The Parkour Film Festival is the largest & longest-running festival of its kind.
Now in its 5th year and after hundreds of submissions from around the world, it is a celebration of the incredible and growing filmmaking talent emerging from parkour culture.
This year we're keeping things simple and running just one category with the goal of making your best long length parkour film focused around the word 'Connection.'

THE CATEGORY:
In previous years, the parkour film festival has included several categories, spread across a range of specific skills & styles. However, the constant pace of social media has meant many impactful events in sports like parkour are instantly shared & quickly forgotten. Pivotal moments are lost somewhere down an Instagram feed.
This year, we're keeping things simple with one category and one keyword to be used as inspiration.
CONNECTION
We're giving you five months to make the best long length parkour video you've ever made. It could be a documentary, a non-stop action piece, or even entirely filmed on a drone. It just needs to capture a feeling of 'CONNECTION.'
After two years of isolation & minimal travel, we want to allow you the time & freedom to work on something that genuinely adds to your creative legacy.
Time limit: 15-30 minutes
Judging criteria:
Judges will be scoring your film with a strong focus on your filmmaking skills and how well your film embodies the keyword 'Connection'.
Things they will be looking for:
Cinematography
Editing
Storytelling
Colour grading
Sound design
While the skill of the parkourists in the film will not be a factor that will be judged, it will naturally aid the overall impression the film may have on the judges.
Please read the 'rules & terms' section before submitting a film.
