Bilingual Festival Website & Film Submission Platform

Scope

Supporting Festival Editions with Full-Featured Management Tools

The Iraq International Youth Film Festival (IIYFF) needed a website to handle multiple festival editions, offering online registration for filmmakers, managing jury members, showcasing submitted films in multiple categories, and maintaining photo galleries of past editions. Since the audience is multilingual, they also required the site to be fully bilingual (e.g. Arabic & English) so everyone — local and international users — can interact easily with the site. The website had to be easy to maintain, scale over each edition, and communicate professionalism and inclusivity.

Solution

A Dynamic, Bilingual Festival Ecosystem with Submissions & CMS

WordPressElementorJavascriptPHP

I built the site using WordPress + Elementor, developing two full editions so far. The system includes registration forms for filmmakers, a Jury Members CMS to manage jurors, a Movies CMS with multiple film categories, and Photo Galleries for showcasing past editions. I also made it fully bilingual (Arabic / English), enabling content translation and language switching so users can browse, submit, or explore in their preferred language. This approach enhances accessibility, broadens reach, and boosts engagement.
