We’re very excited to announce that submissions are now live for the 2018 TriForce Short Film Festival!
There are lots of different film festivals in the UK and around the world, as a film maker it can be tough to know which ones to submit for. It’s important to choose a festival based on the end result; how much it will boost your short film and your filmmaking career. Here at TriForce, we pride ourselves on connecting filmmakers with the industry and offering them on-going guidance and support following the TriForce Short Film Festival.
We’re continuing to work on making this our best festival yet, so here are just a few reasons why you should submit your film for TFSFF.
The Location – Screen your film at BAFTA!
We’re excited to be hosting the TriForce Short Film Festival at BAFTA for the 6th year running! All our 16 shortlisted films are screened at the home of British film.
