Acafilms Low Film Festival 2021 (3)

Festival Start: 09 Dezember 2021      Festival Ende: 31 Dezember 2021

In this year of 2021, we are back, after a sour taste in 2020, we know for a fact that change is on the way. As filmmakers and creatives, we need to embrace ourselves, support our craft on a global level. As a film producer myself with multiple awards and participation on Brazilian and international projects, I know for a fact that technology can bring us close! So in this year, I want to invite aspiring, students and professional filmmakers to exhibit online in an across platform show your work, to touch on the matters that are most important on building a future where we produce film and media content to produce change, awareness and to unite the industry in a global level.
