Our work at international Film, Video and Television festivals

The britfilms.com website maintains a directory of international film, television and video festivals around the globe. Over 500 festivals are included in the directory and each listing contains details of how and when to submit an entry to a particular festival.

You can browse the directory by country, or you can search for festival details by month, deadline, location and other criteria.

Directory of International Film and Video Festivals

This is the festival directory home page at the britfilms.com website. You can access festival details for individual countries via a drop-down list, or you can choose to browse the directory in alphabetical order of country name. Also provided is a quick search facility and an advanced search option if you wish to refine your search.

If you would like to submit a new entry for inclusion in the festival directory you can use our online form. To amend the details of an existing entry, you can do so by clicking on the online festival entry and choosing the option at the bottom of the screen. A printed copy of the festival directory is usually available free of charge from the British Council, but at the moment there are no more copies in stock. For more details, please refer to the Publications and Resources page.
