Submissions

Film Junction is an upcoming streaming and networking platform focused on student filmmakers and entrants in the industry.

Certain selected films will get the chance to become part of our 'First Stone' series and be the focus of the platform's launch. A physical screening and festival will be held in London where these films will be showcased and screened. All filmmakers will be presented with invites to the screening.

Laurels, certificates and Awards will be awarded to the award winners and selected films.

THE SELECTION AND AWARDS PROCESS

Films submitted to the Film Junction Film Festival are judged on their artistic merit and technical quality. Each submitted film goes through a careful judging process.

Curation Process:

Each curator rates the film based on a pre-decided criteria. Each film will be seen by at least 3 curators on the panel. The ratings will then be totalled and the highest ranking films will be selected for the festival. We ensure to conduct a fair and non-biased judgement of all films. 

There will also be an Audience Choice category : The audience will rate each film based on different categories. All

ratings will be totalled and the highest ranking film will be awarded.
