About the festival

#CW - Cinema of the World is a quarterly film event that runs with and for various institutions and societies.

#Season 5, unlike previous seasons, will be an online event and films.

#CW is the first festival which is specifically created to help independent filmmakers and groups to raise awareness about the kind of films made in the world.

#Filmmakers competing in CW festival are not bound to any condition which requires them not to show their films anywhere else. Rather awarded films will be given priority over others as it being the purpose of our festival to educate through the best (which again is subjective). Still, all decisions will be taken by the jury and they will decide which films to grant submission for the festival.

*Today you have the chance to become mentor to many.
*Submit your film to #CW and become one.

Note:
1. It is the sole right of the festival to select and reject the film they want and Jury's decision remains confidential always.
2. Films with abusive or adult content will be given relatively less priority over clean ones. [Tip: Your chance of being nominated at CW increases if you edit away the 18+ content which isn't moving your story ahead.]
3. For any queries, please contact the spokesperson of the festival. Mail is what we personally prefer and quick at.
