About the Film Festival

Hamburg Film Awards is an international film festival with online screenings focused on independent film and script projects as well as music videos. We are connecting independent filmmakers from all around the world to showcase their art and provide inspiration in their filmmaking careers. Our main mission is to discover new talents and give them the opportunity to promote their art and profile to the filmmaking community including distribution companies. We also want to promote the beautiful city Hamburg to the filmmaking community, which is not so famous in the filmmaking industry as other big European cities.

After submission, your project will be privately screened by our Jury. After evaluating all Projects, winners will be announced in the section Winners on our website and social media. Each winner will receive a certificate sent by e-mail, with a specific number to make it simple to prove its validity. Segments of the winning projects will be shared online at our website.
