Portsmouth, United Kingdom


Making Waves Film Festival takes film out of the cinema to promote entertaining, immersive, engaging and challenging film events delivered through a combination of film, performance and the use of an exciting range of venues. Making Waves also supports and exhibits pioneering work by international talent and local independent film-makers. Making Waves supports opportunities to develop skills in film-making, distribution and events.

Now in its third year, the Making Waves Short Film Competition 2015 will be open for entries from Friday 1 May.

Film makers are encouraged to enter the Best International Film, Best National Film and Best Local Film categories with winners’ films being screened during Making Waves Film Festival week and at partner film festivals in France and Italy.

In 2014 the Making Waves Short Film Competition attracted over 250 entries from across the world. Best Film went to Irish film “I've Been A Sweeper” and Best Local Film was awarded to “History Bombs”. The competition was judged by three industry experts led by Oscar nominated short film screen writer Julian Unthank who has written multiple episodes of NEW TRICKS for the BBC and the Oscar Shortlisted short film"Love at First Site) starring John Hurt.

Confirmed partner film festivals for 2015 include Taranto and Fermo Film Festivals in Italy.
