READ BEFORE YOU SUBMIT:

#Film Festival with Theatrical Screening.

#Film Screening along with Empowerment workshops.
#If you have submitted your film and if you are in India then share your availability on the mail. We would love to arrange a workshop with film enthusiasts.
#Please note that the Film Screening dates are NOT fixed. They are provided to give you an approximate idea of when the films might be screened. Film screenings occur at various locations throughout the course of a month or two. As soon as a screening is confirmed, the submitter will be notified. If you happen to miss a screening, don't worry, as CWIFF holds multiple screenings per season.
#CWIFF is an empowerment program. Filmmakers are welcome to attend the screening. Please know that we do not provide Hotel/Flight services to anybody.
##IMPORTANT:  DO NOT Submit your work, if you don't want your work to be screened and want to keep it private. CWIFF screens the selected work, marked as best by Jury/Director, among students throughout the globe. To do so, we download the HD content or request the submitter to provide an HD copy of his/her submitted work and put it on our YouTube channel. Not all films get this opportunity but only a few selected one's.


1. To submit your film to the Festival, you must first upload your film to either Vimeo or YouTube or similar platform.
2. By submitting to the Festival you confirm that you own the rights of the film and you agree to allow your project to be shown by the #CWIFF, where your name and information about your project may be used for promotion.
3. Posters and Videos of all submitted films will remain on our website for as long as the festival is in existence and you can be asked to allow downloadable request at all times.
4. Submissions in languages other than English must be subtitled in English.
5. Multiple entries are allowed. You can submit more than one film to the same category.
6. We accept every kind of film except for horror, adultery, self promoting, religious, and the one's which spread hatred...
7. We are open to everyone. If you’re under 16, you will need to include a parent’s name and contact info.
