2025 Film of The Year Finalists
The three finalists for the 2025 Way Up North Film of the Year have been announced. The overall winner will be revealed live on stage in Vienna on May 6th.
By Way Up North
The Film of the Year category has been part of the WUN Awards since the very first edition in 2017. The brief: a single wedding film that captures the full weight of the day. The judges are looking at storytelling, pacing, emotion, and craft. How the film moves, how it breathes, and whether it stays with you after it ends.
It's a category that rewards filmmakers who know that a great wedding film isn't as simple as a highlight reel. The winning entries over the years have all shared something in common: they make you feel like you know the couple before the credits roll.
Previous Winners:
- Rawand Younes (2024)
- Stefanie Aichner (2023)
- Alex Rudnitskiy (2022)
- Maru Films (2021)
- Maru Films (2019)
- Cinema of Poetry (2018)
- Ben Walton (2017)
The overall winner will be announced live on stage in Vienna on May 6th. For now, here are the three finalists whose work stood out to earn their place in Way Up North history.
