We don't give out awards or laurels. We offer OPEN MIC screenings. What we do is give filmmakers the chance to introduce their work in one of our state-of-the-art cinemas to an audience of their peers and like-minded filmmakers.

After the screenings both filmmakers and our special guests mingle in the theatre and lounge. It's a space where filmmakers can talk about their work, get critical and essential feedback from like-minded creatives, while networking and establishing future artistic and career connections.
