Connecting films to audiences

We are a non-profit startup working to create the most comprehensive database of independent films and film festivals, connecting filmmakers with fans and industry leaders. Think IMDb, but exclusively for festival films - with a "Where to Watch" link if the film is already out, and a "Get Notified" button if the film is not yet available for streaming.

Filmmaker, unlock your film's full potential!

During festival screenings, films experience their peak public interest — a time when audience engagement and excitement are at their highest.

Yet, this significant opportunity for attention often remains unexplored, as films typically make their online debut long after their festival appearances.

It’s not just about lost views; it’s about missing out on building a lasting relationship with your audience, the support and engagement that could fuel your next projects.

Vurchel ensures your audience's interest is retained. We alert your fans when the film is ready to stream, maintaining momentum from festivals for wider reach and engagement. With Vurchel, your film's buzz isn't just preserved — it's amplified.

2026

Welcome to Covent Garden Film Festival! A three-day event of networking, screenings, and parties in the heart of London’s West End entertainment and arts district. CGFF is here to allow filmmakers and audiences to connect, create, and collaborate. We're a film festival that celebrates and showcases shorts, animations, documentaries, moving image art, experimental work, sketches, live performances and scripts. The festival aims to be as environmentally sustainable as possible, thus we are taking three key environmental pledges to make sure that during the event, we produce: No plastic waste No paper waste No food waste With this, we will be awarding an “Environmental Impact Awareness Award” to a filmmaker who is alerting audiences to the impact humans are having on our planet. This will mean CGFF will not be producing paper-based promotional or programming materials. All information will be disseminated digitally in order to reduce the environmental impact and waste produced by the physical event of the film festival. Along with the screenings we will be hosting seminars, talks and workshops with industry professionals and emerging talent. We also allow filmmakers and creatives to connect at our quarterly screenings and networking parties at Covent Garden Studios on Great Newport Street. Please note we will not be screening features, all media and art included in CGFF will be under 40 minutes long. CGFF will also be giving out cash prizes and awards in its first year at an awards gala during the festival, see the Awards and Prizes section below. We want to do this in order to support new talent and celebrate their hard work and ambitions. Our programme and sponsors to be announced in due course - stay tuned for further exciting updates! NOTE: if you wish to pay the submission fees with a cryptocurrency, such as BTC, ETH or SHIB, rather than a fiat-based currency, please get in touch with the festival team as we can facilitate that off the FilmFreeway platform. contact@coventgardenfilmfestival.com
