World of International Film Festival 2020

8 – 11 October, 2020
The 7th edition of the World of Film International Festival opens on 8 October 2020, and will run both in cinema and online over 4 days.
The Festival aspires to bring more audiences, filmmakers and industry professionals together, creating a platform to exchange ideas, showcase their work and most importantly talk on film and new trends in the industry, women filmmakers of today and independent film production in Europe, the US and beyond.
The focus of the Festival remains on independent cinema from all over the world, by showcasing the work of first feature filmmakers, women directors and eastern European cinema in three main sections, First Features, The Female Perspective & Focus on Balkan Cinema. The festival will continue supporting the world of animation, with a 3rd Animation Day, in collaboration with Animaze. This year collaborating with the European Film Academy, ten short films which were nominated for the Best Short Film Award at The European Film Awards will be screened.
Martin Petrov, Festival Director, commented: “In times of great turbulence for our industry, we have a commitment toward the public, our audience, and the talent we represent each year to be more supportive than ever. As a team, we are most proud of where WoFF takes us every year, and we hope that our hybrid 7th edition will make people feel connected again through the love for independent cinema.”
