Our festival's main goal is to bring the best of independent and underground filmmaking to the Amazon and also to promote the exchange of information and knowledge between filmmakers.

  • Although our film got selected for this festival and we spent money on having our film translated to Portuguese - we haven't heard anything from the organisation.

    I've made numerous attempts to contact them but I haven't got a word. The translation never got back and the website seem to be gone.

    Very disappointed!

    Great festival in a cool region of the world for English speaking filmmakers. They offer reasonably priced Portuguese subtitles and cool certificates for winners. Excellent festival with exciting programming by a friendly staff who are passionate about genre cinema. Hopefully this fest will get listed on IMDB soon so I can show off the award and festival to fans who land on our page. If you're into exploitation and horror, this is the real deal. Highly recommended.
