This festival aims to reward the accomplishments of like-minded artists who aim to create interesting content. This festival is for new and veteran artists. Call for Entries opens April 5, 2023 with a completed production date after January 1, 2010 (for authors and photographers - work must be submitted for copywrite by date of submission). Films must be completed in production by September 15, 2023. A trailer must be submitted before the August 1, 2023 deadline date.
Our main goal is to shed light onto creators that deserve it and to form connections between genres of art. We want independent artists to get recognition that they deserve.
