Our mission
Our film festival does not seek to compete with the Locarno Film Festival. Instead, our goal is to showcase independent world cinema and provide your film with the opportunity to be screened in one of the most cinema-rich cities in the world.
We aim to create a platform where diverse voices and unique perspectives can shine, offering filmmakers the chance to connect with global audiences and industry professionals. Through our celebration of independent cinema, we strive to inspire creativity, foster collaboration, and build a community united by the love of storytelling.
