Amsterdam Movie Fest is an international contest and a competition for moviemakers, screenwriters and artists working in media. Our mission is to promote independent filmmakers of cinematic gems and unique voices to a worldwide audience. We are seeking for indie films, emerging and established filmmakers, writers and all artists working in media.

We understand the hard work it takes to get noticed and we want to recognize artists. The competition is a must for filmmakers who are searching for someone who can give their films the undivided attention they deserve. We can now shine the spotlight on an unlimited number of talented filmmakers from around the world, and celebrate the art and beauty of filmmaking.

Our competition is devoted to celebrating the language of cinema and indie filmmaking from all over the globe. Our goal is to provide opportunities and exposure to the talent behind the industry.
