Our only rules are:

Each film must be 15 minutes or less ( with exceptions occasionally made).
Films will only be screened if the filmmakers are present.

Categories:

SHORT FILMS: the official competition open to short films of any genre and type, under 15 minutes long.

FEATURE FILM CORNER: We will select one feature film or documentary to headline our event, which will include a red carpet, a screening, and a Q&A session with the filmmaker on the opening day. The filmmaker’s presence is compulsory.

PITCH CORNER: The “Pitch Corner” is a 15-minute session where selected participants deliver a 60-second “elevator pitch” on stage. This unique opportunity allows filmmakers, actors, and other creatives to present their ideas to the audience and connect further during networking moments.

TRUE SPARK AWARD: The True Spark Award celebrates films that inspire, uplift, and ignite a passion in audiences with their storytelling and creativity. This category honors works that not only entertain but also enrich and enlighten, casting a spell of optimism and vision. If you have already submitted your inspirational film to either our short film or feature film categories, you are automatically considered for this award — no extra steps needed! The presence of the filmmakers at the event, for this category only, is not compulsory (although encouraged).
