The 22nd edition of the Cornwall Film
Festival is about to open for entries from across the globe
Now is the time to enter your short films & music

In 2021 Cornwall Film Festival changed it's name to Mor Media Charity to incorporate the wide range of work the charity does across the year. Cornwall Film Festival still forms the core of MMC and we look forward to welcoming you to CFF2023 in Falmouth.
If your film is shortlisted your work will be judged by our panel of expert judges
This included in 2020 Andy De Emmony (The Last Kingdom, Four Kids & It), Kate Cheesman (Call the Midwife), Joss Agnew (Poldark), Yazmin Joy Vigus (Mermaids) and many more.
Shortlisted films will also be screened at the Mor Media/Cornwall Film Festival new Shorts Weekend (physically or digitally). Which will included screenings, talks, networking opportunities parties and more!
