MondoFilmFestival is a SHORT film festival born to offer international exposure to independent filmmakers, distributing innovative artistic audiovisual products in four countries around the world: Italy, Kenya, Venezuela, Tunisia and Mexico and more venues might come up along the way!
The goal is to promote original creative products, while sharing emerging artists' unique visions with international audiences.
That's why there are no restrictions besides the duration: all qualifying submissions must be 15 minutes or under.
Each screening will award a winner, selected by the audience, the only judge we believe in, which will be announced on the event day, as soon as votes are processed by our team.
This means selected films have four times the opportunity to get the recognition they deserve, with one single submission.

***IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ORGANIZE A SCREENING IN YOUR COUNTRY LET US KNOW mondofilmfestival@gmail.com***

Q:Why do we charge for submissions?
A:Because this festival is the result of the work of a few passionate people and to make things happen, money is needed. We believe in supporting emerging voices, even though there is no gain for us at the moment!
