Civilisation & Culture Documentary Film Festival main goal is to connect authors and viewers through incredible stories from all around the globe. We are interested in sharing your unique view of Civilisation and Culture with our audience, so grab your camera (or even a smartphone) and show us your part of the world. We are more interested in documentary and travel formats, so tell the story you want to tell, keeping that in mind. Camera lens is a powerful and magical tool that captures just a tiny fraction of your Civilisation and Culture but its also a window through which we can explore different parts of our little blue planet, in a relaxed setting of the festival.
