This site is indispensable but watch out for "scams" This site is indispensable for many video art open calls for festivals and exhibitions. Most festivals require their site for applying to their festival. However, FilmFreeway, very occasionally, inadvertently posts scams. When alerted, they will take them down. IMDb recently wrote this year that they were forced to "de-listed 42 international festivals in the past few years"...."‘Scammers’ are believed to set up fake festivals, upload them to portals such as FilmFreeway and take small submission fees for filmmakers to submit their work. But the ‘scammers’ allegedly never watch the films and there is no proof the festivals even exist." I was recently accepted to a film festival, ECRÃ advertised as live/in person, but they showed all video artwork "online" only (with no excuse...it was well after COVID). Another one this year was the BuenosAires Indie Film Festival - buenosairesindiefilmfestival.com. They don't show the work at all, neither online nor live. They have a website with no named judges or no past winners. They take the money for a supposed prize - all without any sort of public viewing. There is no web presence on Google other than their spotty 2-page website. Film Freeway eventually took this site down, and I was refunded my fee.

The awards show company california… The awards show company california music awards is the one i submitted too. THey were very unprofessinal not even looking at my submission until 2 days before the event in san fransisco ca! the website says that you can rate your experince but i wasnt able to due to this colosion

Filmfreeway is always good. Customer support is second to none. Filmfreeway is a great way to find festivals and contests and is a one stop shop for the whole procedure. I have entered many festivals through Filmfreeway leading to major successes with two of my short films and three of my scripts.

its maybe good its maybe good, just register with your alternative email which you don't use, or just create a new email for submissions and avoid spams emails.

Expect film festival spam As others have said. After successfully using Filmfreeway, I now receive an un-ending quantity of spam from film festivals I've never heard of. Multiples per day. After posting this review, Film Freeway deactivated my account and threatened to sue me.
