Unitarian Universalism (UUism or UU) is a liberal religious movement characterized by a “free and responsible search for truth and meaning.” It has no set theology and draws its wisdom and inspiration from many sources, including Film Art.

We want our film festival to present the works of people from all over the world and each person individually.

Share your work and the whole world will see your best work!
