The First year of the Midnight Soul Film Festival is an event that strives to show the imagination and beauty of Northern Scandinavia. Refreshingly intimate for a festival of its size and scope, the event traditionally combines a range of marquee premieres, international competitions, compelling documentaries, new digital media work, live music performances, and a star-studded red carpet event.

You only need to submit once to be considered for all categories!

***Event Date might change***

We aim to forge a film festival and screenwriting competition that will ultimately launch the careers of writers and filmmakers.

We are a Sweden based independent film festival company and our event is pending quarantine restrictions.

This year we are adding a Screenplay Competition for the first time!

Our Screenplay Competition includes feature-length screenplays up to 120 pages, short film scripts up to 30 pages, and dramatic television pilots up to 75 pages. All screenplays must be unproduced and written in the English language.

We accept Screenplays written in English, Swedish, Portuguese or Spanish. We also accept screenplays with multiple languages, i.e., English with Spanish dialogues. This is because we have experienced judges from various countries around the world.

We also accept all genres and subgenres. E.g. Drama; Period Dramas; Romance; Comedy; Action/Adventure; Horror; Cosmic Horror; Folk; Slasher; Gothic; Monsters, Zombies and Vampires; Paranormal; Gore; Crime; Science Fiction; Thriller; Fantasy; Coming-of-Age; Spiritual Cinema; Road movies; Western; Musicals and Historical.

Submissions are scored on character development, story, dialogue, structure and originality.

By submitting your screenplay, you are automatically considered for our screenplay competition. For a higher fee, you receive a consultation with script notes from film producers and industry professionals who are currently making films, as well as other writers. Therefore, you will get notes from both worlds, production, and screenwriting.

Please note that we do not have celebrity judges. Many festivals and screenwriting competitions advertise that they do have celebrity judges but upon closer inspection, their “industry pros” are only reading the top five scripts or viewing the top five screenplays. Our judges are artists, writers, filmmakers, and film lovers. We have excellent taste, and we introduce our winners to top industry professionals.
