Howling Wolf International Film Festival (0)

Festival start: 24 May 2017      Festival end: 02 August 2017

The first Howling Wolf International Film Festival (HWIFF) will be held in September 2017.

The Howling Wolf Film Festival is based in Glasgow, Scotland and is a film festival without a cinema, screening films in unusual venues throughout Glasgow.

Affectionately known as the Cinema City, Glasgow was home to more cinemas per person than anywhere else in the UK back in the 1930s. We took films very seriously, We still do thats why Glasgow has a cinema in the guiness book of world records as the tallest cinema in the world (203 feet).

The HWIFF will screen a range of films and all genres-fiction, documentary, animation, artists film and video, silent film, archive film etc. You film it, we show it.

We're looking for WEIRD, WILD, RIDICULOUS and OUTRAGEOUS short films.

We love Low Budget and No Budget short films. But we also love polished films, We want a mix of everything.

As an international event, we welcome submissions from all corners of the world and films produced in Scotland are eligible to apply to our Scottish category.

The HOWLING WOLF FESTIVAL was started by filmmakers who realized many festivals were only programming films with big budgets and big name stars attached, So we started our own festival, for new and undiscovered indie filmmakers with low budget short films.

This is our first year, so we dont have fancy Sponsors and big theatres supporting us,
It is just us and we need YOU to help us support
YOU!.

Together we can put on an amazing festival!
