Cornwall Film Festival’s official FilmFreeway submission calendar currently lists 16 to 22 November 2026 as its event dates. Falmouth’s official 2026 events guide still marks the festival dates as TBC, and a public screening programme has not yet been published. For that reason, this page treats the FilmFreeway dates as provisional rather than confirmed.
The competition is run by Mor Media Charity. Its 2026 submission rules accept short films up to 20 minutes and describe six main award categories: Student, Regional, International, Cornish, Experimental and the New Wave Jury award. The listed prizes include £500 for the overall winner and £150 for each screening-block winner. Those amounts are filmmaker awards, not visitor ticket prices.
The submission timetable gives 6 September as the final deadline and 12 October as the notification date. A selected film is screened only when the festival sends a selection notice. The eventual public programme may therefore appear after the notification date.
