Microflix Film Festival is now closed.
Good news is, we have partnered with SF3 to continue providing opportunities for writers and filmmakers to collaborate.
We are very excited to announce the 27 films which have made the finals in this year’s Microflix Awards. Thanks to our hard-working jurists, Susan Danta, Will Simon, Lauren Hamilton Neill and Freya Berkhout. All finalist films will be screened and winners in the categories of Best Direction, Best Sound, Best Adaptation and Best Writing will be announced on the award night, Friday Nov 26 hosted by Cassandra Atherton. Join us for this free event which includes interviews with filmmakers and authors and take part in the People’s Choice for Best Film poll. Book your ticket for the Awards Night here.
