International Film Festivals have been turned upside down with the pandemic and what was an online experiment has very often become a matter of survival. We long to have festivals back in cinemas IRL, till then we thrive to help them launch online in the best possible way, with media partners on board and at reduced costs, offering them as much a home as a technical and promotional launchpad.
Film lovers from around the world, unite! and join our efforts in keeping independent cinema alive! Be daring and explore the talents of tomorrow that have been carefully selected for you! Catch up from prestigious festivals’ programming and discover the others!
