Whatever your reason for visiting – staying up to date with the latest trends, techniques, and innovations in the world of filmmaking; discovering new talent; gaining valuable insights from industry experts or simply enjoying a bloody good piece of film that reaffirms your belief in the power of creativity – dive in and get inspired.

Because this page is the least interesting thing about us.

The 1.4 Awards

At 1.4, we believe great work deserves to be celebrated – something we’ve been doing since 2015, when we launched the 1.4 Awards of Brilliant Filmmaking.

From breathtaking visuals to powerful storytelling, our annual awards highlight and honour best-in-class filmmakers and their work – giving directors the opportunity to showcase their work, gain recognition, and connect with industry professionals.

Every year, we bring together a distinguished jury of commissioning editors, music labels, brands, creative directors, and cultural producers, to select the finalists and winners from an ever-increasing pool of brilliant entries.

Then we roll out the red carpet at the 1.4 Awards ceremony, gathering the crème de la crème of the industry to applaud the brilliance of these filmmakers and their contributions to the art of cinema.(Dancing on the tables is encouraged).

And that’s not all: all shortlisted and winning films are featured on our website, reaching a global audience of film enthusiasts, potential collaborators, and industry decision-makers.
