This is a section dedicated to promote movies. So, this is the First Market Award of the New Online Era. The Film Market Award is a free online room for the movie on our festival platform, where you can promote and sell your movie. Not all the films submitted will be accepted. There is a selection on the inner artistic quality of the films submitted. Who submits a film in this section, accepts that the movie can be also eventually put in other sections of our festival at the sole discrection of the festival' staff.
Festhome holds accountable fees festivals by holding the payment of the fees of most newer festivals until they have viewed the submissions, held their festivals and other methods.
