Gladio Film Awards is a film festival born with the desire to celebrate and enhance the diversity of Art in the form of an audiovisual project.
We are a team of passionate filmmakers with experience in film production and distribution and with the aim to judge the strength of the stories more than the technical aspects of the proposed films.
This is why the competition has a bimonthly form so the submitters can have a fast but not superficial feedback from us.
We believe in the creativity and innovation of visual representation… Impress us!
The competition is open to all creators and filmmakers in the world.
We want to discover new talented filmmakers.

Are you one?
