The tagline of the festival: “Film production with meaning!”
Each selected film, videoclip or social video will be shown on several venues. The best poster will be chosen by the audience using online voting. The festival accepts films of any genre. There will be separate programs for films on human rights, films for children and screenings, films for up to 120 seconds. We also accept videoclips, social videos and posters.
Part of the funds from contributions will cover organizational expenses and some money will be sent to charitable funds for sick children.
