FESTIVAL OF ARTS AND CINEMA is an international festival of independent creators. Our goal is to find professionals in various types of art, introduce them to the world, glorifying films and the art of filmmaking. We strive to create a festival where independent works of all genres and countries of origin will receive the recognition they deserve. We've been working on this for many years, making films ourselves, immersing ourselves in the industry, and finally here we are. If your work suggests thoughts that go beyond the author's idea - we are glad to welcome you, and be sure we will appreciate it. The works submitted to the festival are evaluated by a group of professionals from the British film industry.
FOAAC has a monthly structure with annual screenings in the capital of United Kingdom, London.
Every year we select 60 works that will be presented at our event, and 3 creators who will have the opportunity to join the work with our professional team.

The annual event will be held in December 2023 for 4 days.

    This is very dissapointing! . Even as a winner of this festival, there was no communication, except the email of the announcement inviting to the alleged award ceremony that would have taken place the next day.. Any attempts to communicate with the organisers went unanswered. No laurels were given. This is proof that only profit is made here and has nothing to do with the presentation of the films and the makers. Never again.

    Thank you for the official selection. It’s been a pleasure that “Espectacular” music video has been part of your program.

    Festival Of Arts And Cinema is a fantastic festival. The organisers are warm and professional. Very discerning in their judging process, and just an all around positive experience. I would highly recommend this festival to any passionate and professional artist with a project to submit.
