NOVELLA FILM FESTIVAL
2023
And we’re back for the second edition of Novella!
In our first year, we were blown away by the high quality of films and variety of stories we received in our submissions. We’re so excited to kick off our second edition of Novella, and do it all again. Take a look at some of our shortlisted films from last year below.
With our 10 diverse categories and high value cash prizes, we’re striving to promote diverse perspectives within film, and to help filmmakers continue to do what they love.
We’re so excited to see what the second year of the Novella Film Festival will bring.
