The International Film Festival of Wales aims to provide a platform for filmmakers from diverse backgrounds to showcase their work, participate in exclusive opportunities for networking, as well as to promote cultural exchange and dialogue through the medium of film.[9] The festival attracts a diverse audience including filmmakers, industry professionals, and film enthusiasts from Wales and beyond.[10]
In addition to film screenings, the festival features Q&A sessions with filmmakers, actors and film crew. The festival also presents a number of awards, including Best Feature Film, Best Short Film, Best Director and many others.[11] IFFW also showcases and supports unproduced screenplays of outstanding quality, which are featured and award as part of The Dragon List.[12]
Since its inception, IFFW has grown in stature and reputation, attracting an increasing number of attendees and submissions from around the world. This festival has become an annual event in Wales, as well as an important platform for promoting Welsh cinema on the international stage.[13]
In addition to its typical in-person events, the International Film Festival of Wales was also hosted online in 2020[14] and 2021[15] due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
