International Film Festival Kolaksai

Ukrainian Independent international film festival "Kolaksai" is a platform for independent filmmakers, where they can show their films on a big screen and to know the opinion of the audience and their colleagues.
We want to create a community of independent filmmakers from different countries of the world.
First of all, we invite directors who make films with a small budget.
Our most important goal - to give you a opportunity to find a way out to the audience at the beginning of your career.
If an independent director shows of his film on festival, it gives strength to work on. Unfortunately, modern film industry is arranged so that everything is decided by money. You need to get the festival prizes, you should be noticed by the producers who will give you money for movie. But the prizes and festivals are not enough for all, most festivals rolled the same movies through the year.
The aim of our festival - give to all independent filmmakers opportunity to express themselves. You are tired of getting rejections from festivals? Why someone decides that your movie will be shown on the big screen or not?
Our Festival is ready to show as many films as we can. We have no sponsors and producers. Therefore, we have to take contributions - we need a rental of cinema halls, advertising, printing and organization expenses.
We give a chance to all filmmakers to show movies on the big screen.
Selection criteria: quality of image, sound and story.
We do not limit the films from one person but entry fee must paid for each film.
We accept the films of any genre. It should be a movie with the story, but not an amateur video.
The Festival reserves the right to refuse any film without explanation. In this case, the fee will be refunded. So you have nothing to lose. No money for nothing. This is our principle.
Our festival is neither bourgeois no pretentious. We just show movies to people. Let the spectators decide themselves what movies they want to see.
The motto of our festival: Give each Heat. At the festival, we will provide you with quality and interesting program.
