CINEMAGIA Movie Awards is an ambitious and magical online independent international film festival that was born, thanks to an intuition of the Artistic Director Daniele Gangemi, as an offshoot of the prestigious CINEMAGIA ONLINE online cinema platform and multiplex, an authoritative point of reference for international independent cinema, which offers production of a virtual multiplex for the launch of their works, accompanying them by the hand in the impervious and difficult distribution path that will eventually lead them to a well-deserved meeting with the public.
The declared goal of the CINEMAGIA Movie Awards is to search and find the true talents of the independent cinema around the world and give them the necessary prominence to become the celebrities of the future.
Only those who hold the rights to a work can register it for the CINEMAGIA Movie Awards, by paying the registration fee provided for by the CINEMAGIA Movie Awards and having the right, if interested, to the publication of their works, if they are officially selected by the jury, to publish them in the multiplex of the CINEMAGIA Online platform, from the moment of selection of the works up to the awarding of the prizes.
