Overview
The Wrap Film Festival is a prominent film festival in the modern filmmaking industry. In our 14th edition, taking place on March 22, 2026. We are dedicated to showcasing films from the most talented filmmakers across various genres. Our program is packed with award-winning films from every corner of the globe. What began as a celebration of our love for film has grown into a comprehensive, value-packed celebration of cinematic artistry, surrounded by other incredibly talented and passionate filmmakers! Our competition has been a launching pad for some of the most remarkable young filmmakers of our time, showcasing Palm d'Or winners, Oscar nominees, EFA winners, and many other distinguished creators who began their journeys as part of our selected filmmakers in past editions. The Golden Wrap Award honors outstanding achievements in emerging filmmaking, spotlighting fresh trends and placing a strong emphasis on originality, visual language innovation, aesthetics, and craftsmanship in cinematic imagery.
