Best Film
The Deal directed by James Lancaster
What’s it all about?
This event took place prior to Hellfire Film Festival’s rebrand to Folkestone International Film & TV Festival
The ‘twentythree Hellfire Short Film Festival‘ is a short film competition by Hellfire Film Festival. All of the films are submitted by filmmakers all around the world. Each shortlisted short film is judged by a panel of industry professionals and the winner of each category will be awarded with a coveted Hellfire Short Film Festival Trophy.
Festival in a Covid World
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we made the difficult decision to change how this year’s festival took place. Instead of a physical event the whole festival was held behind closed doors and remotely.
The official selections were sent to judges who individually watched the films and took notes. We then met via Zoom and collectively selected each winner.
It was a very tough decision this year as the bar was set very high and some amazing films were submitted.
Congratulations to each award winner. We hope to get the trophies sent out as soon as we have received them (Covid has delayed the manufacture and delivery).
