Overview
Wallachia International Film Festival is an independent film festival based in Bucharest, Romania, founded in 2019 and held in the city’s Old Town area. It is notable for positioning itself as an industry-connected, grassroots event and for being an IMDb-qualifying festival that awards emerging filmmakers; it programs fiction, documentary, animation, and experimental films, along with shorts and other media forms. Its significance in the festival circuit comes from its international submissions profile, its recognition platform for new talent, and its role as a launchpad for filmmakers seeking industry visibility.

Great festival! It was well organized and informed me in a timely manner that my film was selected for best short movie. I look forward to submitting my next project to the Wallachia Int'l Film Festival next year.

My film “Diana from Hong Kong”, which I produced and directed, has been selected as an official selection of the festival! I am very happy to be a part of this wonderful film festival. I would like to exhibit my next film again when it is completed. Thank you very much!
