The International Motor Film Awards are a high-profile showcase of talent and the world’s most prestigious event for the automotive film and television industry. The awards celebrate the craft behind the film industry’s biggest stunts, television’s best car commercials and the world’s top automotive documentaries and short films.
The awards night draws creatives and petrolheads alike, as well as celebrities and HNWI from the film and motor industries. Winners in previous years include Baby Driver, Ford v Ferrari, Mission: Impossible – Fallout, The Grand Tour, No Time to Die and commercials from major car manufacturers. Judging the winners is a jury composed of notable industry professionals and personalities such as Ben Collins (better known as The Stig), Academy Award winning stunt coordinator Vic Armstrong and television legend and race driver Tiff Needell.
For its 11th year the Motor Film Awards is back at the prestigious venue at Alexandra Palace in London to offer a completely immersive experience of both the Awards and Trade Expo.
