The POP International film festival is an IMDB AWARDS listing Qualifier!

NEW VENUE for the live screening – Lido Cinemas, Hawthorn!

This is a diversity film festival that aims to expand the film making community to use different actors to traditional films.

The focus for the judging will be based on how the film fits the category, the quality of the script, acting, filming and general quality of the film. All films submitted are watched from start to finish by the judges.

Submissions must be in English or have English subtitles.
Submissions will only be accepted via FilmFreeway.

***We DO NOT provide fee waivers, emails of this nature will be ignored.

***Returning film makers please remember to use your discount fee code as a thank you from us.

All successful films will need to be submitted as a DCP.
