About
A film festival that is dedicated to screening challenging films from around the world and around the corner. A thriving Youth Initiative, public screenings in alternative spaces, building community by supporting filmmakers and filmlovers. QWFF promotes engagement in the arts through an annual festival, industry panels, special screening events, and popular youth-oriented educational initiatives. Year round screenings provide ongoing opportunities for QWFF filmmakers, past and present.
Awards
We award «Best of» and «Honorable Mention» in every category, we include Best of Fest, Founders' Choice, Emerging Filmmaker and Unique Vision in our recognition. If there is a film of special note that doesn't fit nicely into a category, often we design a special award to recognize that filmmaker's accomplishments.
