The Lord of The Reels (3)

Festival Start: 18 November 2026      Festival Ende: 19 November 2026

FIRST OBSTACLES TO OVERCOME

Projects that already have nominations have a much higher selection rate.

That’s why we have decided to be a “bridge festival”, helping you secure those first nominations. This way, you’ll have many more chances of being selected by other festivals.

WHAT SETS US APART FROM OTHER FESTIVALS?

We believe the relationship between festivals and artists should once again be closer. Every festival has a responsibility to use all its resources to support filmmakers on their journey. Nowadays, festivals tend to promote only the winning projects, and that is not enough. Financing a festival run requires a huge effort, and festivals should do much more to help.

This is our motto:

Clear communication: We respond to all emails, personally notify all nominees, and send a second email to winners with the full list of award recipients in each category.

Constant promotion: We promote all submitted projects weekly throughout the festival.

Custom laurels: We create personalized laurels for each winning project so you can use them on your social media.

Ultra-low fees: As a festival, we subsidize 70% of the cost of each submission, so the final fee paid by the artist is much lower than usual. This is our way of supporting you on this journey.

Networking: Connections with directors, producers, and distributors.
