World Independent Cinema Awards
An annual International Award ceremony created to honor the year's best films, TV Shows, Advertising, Paintings, and Photos.
Founded by Lady Maggie Magica to support & promote artists all over the World and to create a venue where aspiring filmmakers & artists can present their work, meet and exchange ideas.
It is part of the Film Festival International group of festivals which began in 2005.
Why Work With Us
We are honored that our last edition — celebrating our filmmakers and announcing the winners — was hosted at the British Parliament, House of Lords.
Thanks to Lady Maggie’s efforts and support, she and Lord Neil Kinnock invited us, believing in our vision and recognizing our work. To be included in such a prestigious, historic event allowed our filmmakers to speak about the power of film, to feel seen, heard, and respected — sharing the stage with Cannes winners, Grammy winners, and high-profile guests.
Experienced professionals dedicated to your success.
Our filmmakers attended Cannes film festival
