Annual Program Without Frontiers

Multiple red flags detected - exercise caution

The Annual Program Without Frontiers (APWF) is not a legitimate film festival but a fraudulent operation that collects entry fees without screening films, judging submissions, or awarding prizes. Under the guise of fake festivals, the organization emails signed 'diplomas' to winners and was investigated by Interpol for fraud, making it notorious as a scam rather than a significant event in the film festival circuit.
