India's First Pan-India OTT Cinema Awards

14th International Short Films & OTT Cinema Award Fest 2025

The Great Pan-India Independent Cinema Campaign

Special recognition to the independent filmmakers of Indian cinema, who have produced offbeat or parallel films as well as mainstream, corporate, and non-corporate films. We will accept nominations for films released on OTT platforms or in theatres.


Producers, directors, actors, actresses, and screenplay writers will be honoured with the "Best Film OTT Cinema Awards" after meticulous evaluation of artistic calibre and performance in their respective films. Notably, while evaluating your work, we do not attach much importance to the success or failure of your film at the box office.


The purpose of creating this platform is to provide recognition, honour, and importance to all small and big filmmakers of Indian cinema under one umbrella.


Five major awards will be given to honour and encourage the Best Actor, the Best Actress, the Best Screenplay, the Best Director, and the Best Film OTT Cinema Award.


This award ceremony currently includes films in Hindi, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam languages only. Producers, directors, actors, actresses, scriptwriters, and executives need to apply to SFMIFF for nomination of their films with all the relevant details. Please send your applications to .


The winners will be decided by public voting. The film receiving the most votes will be declared the winner.
