IMDB Qualified Festival
The main goal of our festival is to raise awareness for a positive change internationally, nationally, in cultures and societies, specific groups, socially, politically, etc… for example, subjects involving human- and animal rights, climate change, cultural issues, projects to increase the quality of life, or film and documentaries on similar topics.
The Mission of FUIFF is to create a platform that every independent filmmaker needs in order to showcase and get recognition for their films. They will be able to express their material freely and do not have to follow the same demands as with commercial films.
The objective of the Film Festival is to support independent filmmakers through reviewing, judging, marketing, distribution networking, and trying to overcome any other obstacles which potentially hinder the artist’s ability to create. Entries are judged against a high standard of merit and are scored accordingly.
To give continuity to the selection process and steady feedback to the filmmakers, we are running a monthly edition. Instead of waiting for months before getting an answer from the festival, filmmakers are immediately contacted if selected. Their works are privately reviewed every month and evaluated by a team of experts in the industry.
We treat every entry as a uniqueness on its own, in that sense, there is no competition against other filmmakers. To us, the impact of your film or documentary is most important.
FUIFF aims to create a strong network between filmmakers, producers, and distributors on a global scale.
We cannot wait to see what you have created.
- Short and feature films, in the form of narrative (fiction), documentary (non-fiction), experimental, or animation.
- Multiple entries are allowed for each filmmaker and each entry may be entered in multiple categories section.
