Munich Film Awards (MFA) is a brand new, up and coming annual film festival held in the heart of Munich. MFA is more than just a Film Festival; it is a strong connection among all filmmakers around the world.
"Our team has had the opportunity to be a part of over 100 festivals and the Munich Film Awards is one of the best experiences I have had in my career!" - Michael Davis
For our 2020 Online Event, we had over 750 virtual audience members from 63 different countries! For 2021 we plan to host a physical event and an online event for those who can't be there in person.
Our judges consist of filmmakers and industry professionals from 6 different countries. We believe that having such a multicultural team behind our festival helps make our festival thrive amongst Independent Festivals. Our diverse judges give the opportunity to all filmmakers to have their films reviewed by them with such a wide knowledge in the art of filmmaking.
Exposing young talented filmmakers to an environment of industry professionals with vast experience in their field is a priority for us. One of our top aims is giving opportunities to first time filmmakers, regardless of their age, to have their films presented to larger audiences and help promote their talent. We aim to create events that lead to further opportunities.
The objective of MFA is to provide support to independent filmmakers globally through reviewing, judging, marketing, and distribution networking. MFA accepts all genres of films across the globe. The selected high-quality films will have a chance to win awards such as trophies, certificates, gift cards and cash prizes starting from $200 as well as have their films on the big screen at our live screening.
Good luck!
The judges of the festival will carefully select the films to be nominated for awards, and create a selection of nominated films to be screened in front of the live audience. The fantastic event will give filmmakers opportunities to watch their film on the big screen as well as the opportunity for networking.
