***DUE to COVID19 restrictions we have cancelled our live event for July 2020. All award-winners will receive notification on July 10***
The Continental Film Festival is a bi-annual event that opens doors for filmmakers in all continents to have a fair chance at receiving awards. We hold a live screening each Spring and Fall, giving you an opportunity to enter your film when you are absolutely ready. Our judges composed of industry professionals as well as a jury made up of a non-industry audience will privately screen the films and rank them in several criteria including writing, cinematography, sound design, editing, acting and directing. Many will be chosen as Semi-Finalists, also known as Nominees, and these will be eligible to win category-specific awards. A few will be chosen Finalists and these will be screened at our live event held at The Burroughes Building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, one of the most multicultural cities on the face of the Earth. One of them will win the Best Film of the Festival award along with some Runner Ups. |

Moving past conflict. |
Beginners and professionals alike. |
The entertainment world has a unique position of moving past political conflicts that occur on a daily basis throughout the world. The Continental Film Festival aims to help with that by providing everyone an opportunity to win awards that they can be proud of in a world that may not yet be proud of them.

The Continental Film Festival wholeheartedly welcomes filmmakers of all stages and backgrounds to our competition.
