The WFFF seeks feature and short films in the following categories: student, narrative feature, narrative short, and documentary.

Films may be submitted via FilmFreeway at https://filmfreeway.com/WakeForestFilmFestival. The website includes film screening fees and submission requirements. The Early Bird Deadline is Friday, Aug. 16, and the fee is $5 for students and $15 for professionals.

Scheduled for Saturday, March 1, 2025, the WFFF will spotlight passionate, creative, and thought-provoking movies by some of today's most promising and accomplished local, national, and international filmmakers. Intended for both the general public and film professionals, the WFFF is an opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their films in a unique location to a discerning audience.
