Welcome to the Filmmakers United International Film Festival (FUIFF) - FUIFF AWARDS 2024 - an IMDb Qualified Festival.

Our festival is dedicated to promoting positive change on a global scale, addressing important issues such as climate change, human and animal rights, and social and cultural matters. We believe in the power of film to raise awareness and inspire action.

At FUIFF, our mission is to provide independent filmmakers with a platform to showcase their work and gain recognition. We understand the importance of creative freedom and aim to support filmmakers in expressing their unique visions without the constraints of commercial demands.

Our objective is to assist independent filmmakers in overcoming obstacles and reaching their full potential. Through our comprehensive review process, networking opportunities, and marketing support, we strive to empower filmmakers and help them navigate the industry.

To ensure a seamless selection process and provide timely feedback, we run a monthly edition of our festival. Filmmakers will be notified promptly if their work is selected, and our team of industry experts will evaluate and review their films on a regular basis.

We value the individuality of each entry and prioritize the impact and message of the film or documentary. FUIFF aims to foster a strong global network of filmmakers, producers, and distributors, facilitating collaboration and opportunities for growth.

We are excited to witness the creativity and talent showcased in your films.

    Nothing but positive experiences interacting with the team on this festival. Received and invitation to attend the event in person as my project had been selected and awarded "Best Feature Film on Animals," which was a very nice and appreciated gesture.

    The cast and crew of "Finding Revelation, Alabama" were thrilled to be selected for FUIFF. So glad to see the Interfaith programming. Not many festivals offer this category. Good communication from the festival organizers who did a nice job of promoting the event.

    Dear Pat Mitchell, First of all, congratulations on receiving a special honorable mention! We are not sure why you are dissatisfied, please check the screening rules, not all selected films will have the opportunity to have a live audience screening, in fact it is not possible, we have requested to download your film for our online audience screening, all went well. Whether you leave a negative or positive review, the FUIFF team and audience love your work and we wish you all the best for the future. Peace
