UK Offline Web Fest

*** COVID-19 shutdown message *** UKOWF 2021 (1st or 2nd week of October) is a long way off, and who knows where we will be, however, the UKOWF team would like to reassure everyone that we are committed to holding the 6th UK Offline Web Fest in 2021 in some form, continuing to support filmmakers, artists, and audiences. Whether this will be at our beloved venues, online, a mixture of the two, or something else entirely we do not yet know… We’ll keep you posted as our plans evolve - Stay tuned and #Stayhome. ********************************** We are proud to announce that we are sponsored by "I Love WebSeries" and we are an IMDb Qualified event! We are officially recognized by the "International Online Web Fest" as UK Official Provider. Selected shorts and/or web series will qualify for IOWF® considerations. In our last years, we received more than 600 submissions with over a dozen of Universities and Film-Schools participating in our web festival. And the last two winning-award actresses: Jordan Baker and Sophia Myles won "International Online Web Fest", too. We strive to bring filmmakers from all over the UK under one spotlight on the world stage. We continue to represent filmmakers from all levels and experiences. UKOWF is based in London, with our jury located around the world including the United Kingdom (UK), USA, France, and Italy. All the short films and series will go through a reviewable process by our highly experienced juries, who will go through an evaluation process and select the films. Projects that receive top marks from our judges are official selections of the festival. The programming committee then will select a smaller selection of films to screen live (or online if COVID-19 restrictions occur) at the festival from the official selection. All official selections are eligible to win an award at the award ceremony concluding the festival. To be eligible for the 2021 competition, entries must have been completed between January 31, 2019, and the festival date for the Festival Premieres. Only projects from all over the UK are eligible. Submissions need to be made in the UK to qualify unless you are submitting in the WORLD PREMIERE category. We welcome submissions from a range of genres including short films, documentaries, animations, and web series. Our objective is to provide support for film-makers through reviewing, judging, marketing, and distribution networking. Our judges are actively looking to acquire shorts, features, and series to broadcast all over the world. Your submission could warrant the biggest prize of all, the deal you broke with one of our distributors if your film is selected. With our live screenings at Camden Town, we aim to showcase and promote the work of filmmakers. We believe our Web Fest will give filmmakers a chance to showcase their work to a very wide range of audiences. We are very excited to review your project and observe the detailed creativity of your work from anywhere in the UK!
