CORE Featured Creators (2)

Inizio del Festival: 11 maggio 2020      Festival si chiude: 11 maggio 2020

CORE International Film Festival is an event dedicated to finding the coolest short films out in the world. We're set on selecting short films that make us say "wow" and giving others a chance to see this incredible content for themselves. We're a collective of filmmakers working in the industry, and we're looking to expand our network with you! To give you a chance to screen your work with us, and network to form a connection within the film industry for yourself.

With that, we've also officially partnered with SMG Media, which will allow all of our curated short films to be eligible for a distribution deal. In short, this partnership is designed to help filmmakers earn revenue through short film distribution with Shami Media Group, if they're interested.

Our main goal is to shed light onto creations that deserve it, and to form connections between cool creators in the film world. We want independent filmmakers to get some of the recognition that they deserve. We want to bring you new opportunities to find like-minded individuals to enjoy your work, and potentially work with professionally in the future.

Officially selected films will be added to the CORE Featured Creators Catalog, where they will hold a permanent place to celebrate their achievement in excellence forever.

With that, of course, the selected films will be screened live at the Boston Premiere for the CORE International Film Festival 2020. The screening night will be a formal networking mixer followed by the official premiere and awards ceremony.

The CORE International Film Festival selections will be judged and decided on by experienced, award-winning independent filmmakers working in the industry. With that, the screening will have industry guest speakers in attendance to present awards to our filmmakers. So whether you're officially selected or not, the festival will be a blast all around!
