For years there are rumors about the adaptation of the Watch_Dogs franchise into a movie, but nothing confirmed yet officially by Ubisoft.

Instead of asking a Hollywood studio to develop a blockbuster like Assassin’ Creed one – coming 2 month after -, let offer the fans of Watch_Dogs 2 the chance to become the showrunner and realisator of the franchise short movie !

The Watch_Dogs Film Fest #WDFF invites creators around the world to submit a creative video content about #hackingheroes, in any form, between 5’’ to 5’.

30 days of competition, to convince the 3 members of the members of the international jury : Louis Leterrier (Director of blockbuster for Marvel), the 2 creators of Watch_Dogs video game, and local ambassadors incarnated by relevant Youtube content creators.

Each video entry was moderated, translated and subtitled in english in less than 2 days.

The ceremony happened online, the day of the release of the game :

- the local youtubers announced the local winners,

- the public also voted for their best content

20 nationalities took part into the festival.
