Festival start: 21 July 2026      Festival end: 10 October 2026

Dear all, we have introduced new norms and regulations for the upcoming season, so please read all the sections carefully before proceeding for the submission.

We believe that film is not just entertainment; it is a powerful medium for artistic expression that challenges norms and inspires change. We are committed to highlighting films that push boundaries, utilizing innovative film language to create immersive experiences that resonate deeply with viewers.

Join us in this dynamic journey as we celebrate exceptional filmmakers who pour their heart and soul into their work, ensuring that every frame is a testament to their vision.

Be a part of our community, where every film is a conversation starter and where every voice matters. Together, let’s explore the transformative power of cinema and elevate the artistic narrative in our culture!

Join us in celebrating the art of filmmaking!

We primarily prefer screening of films, so there is no competition section.
We don't provide any cash prize, memento or certificates to the selected films.

Officially selected films will receive festival's official laurel.

Important Note: Not all selected films will be screened live. From the pool of selected films, our team will curate a special showcase for the festival screening. We deeply value every submission and look forward to celebrating the chosen works with our audience.

Submit your work today and be part of this exciting journey!
We wish all participants the best of luck.

The decision of the jury is final.

All films must include English subtitles.

Multiple entries from one submitter are allowed. If your film is officially selected for our festival, you permit us to use your film's photos, posters, trailer, and segments for promotional purposes.

No screening fee will be provided to the selected films.

No travel support will be provided to filmmakers who attend the film festival.
For screening process downloadable MP4 file is fine.
