Liverpool Indie Awards

A home for aspiring filmmakers! Join us for an amazing live screening with opportunities to pitch your film to industry experts, connect with fellow creators and industry leaders, share your passion in short cinema interviews, and celebrate with filmmaker welcome drinks. The top film even wins a prestigious festival trophy and 500 USD cash prize! Recognized as a TOP 100 Best Reviewed Festival in 2023 and 2024 on FilmFreeway, we’re dedicated to supporting and celebrating the filmmaking talent in the UK.

annual live screening

Our festival home, Liverpool, is rich with cinematic spirit (hello Peaky Blinders!). With that kind of energy, it’s no surprise our screenings regularly sell out. Films are shown on the big screen in a world-class venue: the Picturehouse at FACT, right in the heart of the city.

Opportunities

Past seasons have brought the spotlight to BAFTA-nominated gems and internationally acclaimed talent. We’ve proudly featured works from Clifford Milner (BBC), Oscar-qualifying director Ivan Goldschmidt, BAFTA-nominated Piotr Szkopiak, and Shona Auerbach. Films selected for the Academy Awards and BAFTA, like those by Luke Rex, have graced our screen, proof that this is a festival where top-tier indie storytelling shines.
