I absolutely LOVE this Festival. Fantastic communication, amazing people and a tremendously well curated program. An impressive array of films from all over the world.

The organizers reached out to me personally to let me know I was accepted which is so incredibly rare in this business. Then when my film won, they made sure to let me know asap and again, reached out with a very personal touch.

It is obvious that they care deeply about the filmmakers, film quality and providing a fun and entertaining event. I strongly encourage everyone to apply to this Fest! You will love the experience!

Thanks for accepting our film New Forest Film Festival. We were delighted to win for "Best Animation". The communication from this festival was excellent. We really appreciated receiving feedback from the judges and feeling so included in the event, even though we were not able to attend in person. We will definitely submit again.

New Forest Film Festival was well organised and the communication was very good. The selection of films was mixed from very low-budget amateur to higher quality professional films. There was a range of genres and awards for all categories. The directors welcomed me very warmly at the event and I had a chance to network with some of the judges. Thanks!

I had the honour to have my directing debut screen at the New Forest Film Festival 2018. Gary and Michael are very kind and professional, they were super communicative during pre and post festival event and even during the main event as they called me to announce my film has won the best narrative category. I will definitely submit my next film to the New Forest Film Festival!

My team and I wish you guys all the best!
