www.cwiff.co.in

CWIFF is a quarterly film event that runs with and for various institutions and societies which is specifically created to help independent filmmakers and groups to raise their awareness about the kind of films made in the world.. Not only we run as a Festival but as well provide a means to filmmakers to learn from their seniors from around the world.
​
BIG NEWS: This is the best Season to submit your film to the festival as CWIFF is hosting a larger-than-life film festival where winners, including all previous seasons, are not only being given entries at a huge discount but as well a dedicated entry to the competitive round. Along with that, all films will be given a chance to be featured on CWIFF's Studio platform for free.

Filmmakers competing in CWIFF are not bound to any condition which requires them not to show their films anywhere else. Rather awarded films will be given priority over others as it being the purpose of our festival to educate through the best (which again is subjective). Still, all decisions will be taken by the jury and they will decide which films be granted submission for the festival.

Today you have the chance to become mentor to many. Submit your film to #CW and become one.

Note:

1. It is the sole right of the festival to select and reject the film they want and the Jury's decision remains confidential always.

2. For any queries, please contact the spokesperson of the festival. Mail is what we personally prefer and quick at.

3. Films on the elderly, children, and women will be awarded separately.

All selected entries receive Official Selection Laurels. You can also create your personalized Laurels on Festhome.

Winners receive Official CWIFF Certificates. Make sure you ask for them and if there's a delay you see, push the authorities.
