Empowering Change Through Cinematic Storytelling
The Festival
Our mission is to have a festival dedicated to films that strive to make a difference. In this our inaugural year we are looking for films to showcase that will encourage people to look at the world around them in a different light. We are looking for short films, feature films and documentaries that challenge the status quo and ask the viewers to reevaluate their views on how things work. We will be viewing the films in the scenic Niagara Falls, NY at the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center on September 5-7, 2025 and will invite people to come view the selected films and give real time feedback to how the films made them feel.
The films will be evaluated and winners will be named in the following categories:
Best Micro-Short Film (less than 5 minutes)
Best Short Film (5-40 Minutes)
Best Feature Film (over 40 minutes)
Best Documentary
Best Actor
Best Director
All winners will receive certificates and laurels.
Daredevil Film Festival proudly accepts entries on FilmFreeway, the world's #1 way to enter film festivals and creative contests.
While our focus is on social justice issues, we recognize that looking at those issues might be disturbing or offensive to some viewers. Our goal is to give everyone a voice, even if we as curators of these films do not necessarily agree with their opinion or stance on an issue. We recognize that every person has a right to their opinion and should be given opportunity to express that opinion. What is most important to us at DareDevil Film Festival is that people have opportunity to be heard.
