Narrative to Frame International Film Festival
A nomadic global celebration of pure storytelling—where the literary soul of a script meets the visual architecture of the screen.
Join filmmakers, writers, film enthusiasts, industry professionals and media in Perth, Western Australia, for our inaugural festival on 10 April 2027. Submit a film in any category and compete for the AUD$10,000 Grand Prize, awarded to the best film regardless of length or budget.
Where Story Becomes Cinema
Narrative to Frame is a nomadic international film festival dedicated to the journey from written story to moving image. We celebrate the literary depth of the script alongside the visual architecture of the screen, honoring filmmakers who translate a narrative’s soul into a compelling frame.
Every cinematic category, length, production scale, and budget is welcome. From Action and Crime to Comedy, Drama, Horror, Romance, Fantasy, Thriller, Sci-Fi, and Open submissions, films are judged by storytelling strength and craft, not resources. Our inaugural festival arrives in Perth, Western Australia, on 10-11 April 2027, bringing filmmakers, writers, industry professionals, media, and film enthusiasts together for screenings and discussions.
