IMDb Film Festival: Connecting Filmmakers with the Industry

Why Join New World?

At New World, we believe in more than just showcasing films. We believe in empowering creators. As an IMDb-recognized festival, our mission is to connect emerging talent with the industry and actively support their creative journey.

Marketing That Matters
We are deeply committed to promoting every project that takes part in our festival. From the moment you submit your work, we begin sharing it with a wider audience. Each project receives its own promotional post on our social media channels. Don’t just take our word for it. Visit our Instagram, where we have already helped more than 1,200 filmmakers and writers gain visibility and amplify their voices.

Reduced Fees to Support Independent Artists
We understand the challenges independent creators face. Most projects are self-funded, and navigating the festival circuit can be costly. That’s why New World offers affordable submission fees. Our way of helping lighten the burden and give your work the exposure it deserves.

We’re Here for You
We welcome you with open arms and are ready to support your creative journey every step of the way. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to help.

Submit your project to New World today and take the next step toward your cinematic future.
