What is CWFF?
The Canary Wharf Film Festival (CWFF – pronounced “quiff”, by the way) was established in 2007 to bring creative and commercial minds together, changing preconceived notions of Canary Wharf and highlighting it as London’s newest creative hub. CWFF also aims to open the boundaries of filmmaking as a whole by offering an exciting programme of local, national and international filmmaking talent.
Why Canary Wharf?
Canary Wharf is well known as London’s newest business district, but few people realise there is a burgeoning arts community in the local area. CWFF aims to bolster this artistic growth by drawing filmmakers and film-lovers to this relatively undiscovered, eye-catching part of the city.
When are submissions open?
Submissions for CWFF 09 are well and truly closed. Submissions for CWFF 10 will open in 2010, funnily enough. Sign up for to the CWFF Newsletter to hear about it first!
