New Dreams International Film Festival

2021 PLANS:

Due to COVID-19, we are currently rescheduling our events, and looking into new partners and sponsors. We will be hosting screenings at various locations (in either Los Angeles, CA or Falls Church, VA) and/or online or virtually.

Realistically, we are likely moving the entire festival to Falls Church, Virginia and Washington DC for 2021 with many of the screenings happening online only. Due to a venue cancellation, our event date is not set in stone. Our festival director will be traveling internationally during the month of June, but will be back stateside in mid-July to confirm the schedule and venue locations. Please be patient with us. Thank you.

MISSION STATEMENT:

The New Dreams International Film Festival is a lifelong dream of renowned independent filmmaker and artist, Ramzi Abed, and is an International Film Screening Series that is focused on the art of visual storytelling while also specifically showcasing the innovative work of young, up and coming and underground directors, cinematographers and photographers from around the world, who will be exhibiting unique movies and fresh styles. The festival has a competition that includes a photography exhibition and short and feature-length screenings. We are excited to premiere numerous films that no one has ever seen before. We are looking forward to finding those films and meeting you, our fellow filmmakers! The New Dreams International Film Festival has officially launched.

Our Gold Sponsor Partner is Flixhouse, which is a service that is also available to any filmmakers who are interested in it.

In addition, our prizes will include Awards issued for each "Dream" category, as well as potential distribution deals with our sponsors, including Cinema Epoch, Breaking Glass Pictures, Troma Entertainment, and the Roku channel and streaming subscription service, FlixHouse.
