Modern, avant-garde and unique... Our festival breaks barriers and shows modern productions in black and white, moving away a little from the norms of classic silent film presentations.

Any topic is allowed since we believe in the artistic freedom of directors and producers of black and white cinema.
From documentaries to animations, for adults, children and political messages, all B&W production is allowed and takes place at our festival.

    Submitting Signal to Modern Black and White Film Festival was one of the best decisions we made during our run. The selection process felt genuinely curated, and being part of this lineup meant a lot to our team. The communication was warm and clear throughout. For a film we made on an iPhone with a small crew, getting selected here was a real validation. Highly recommend to any filmmaker looking for a festival that actually cares about the work.

    In an age of AI and fake everything, it is so refreshing to go back to basics of humanity where cinema started and art was real.
