International Streaming Award (2)

Festival start: 01 December 2025      Festival end: 20 December 2025

Looking through the eyes of directors from all over the world is the goal of our Festival.

A global vision on free and independent cinema, without genre limitations and any form of censorship. The creator of the project is producer and director Luigi Pastore, already artistic director of the Italian Horror Fantasy Fest, who proposes a new concept of Festival capable of creating interaction between the authors and the public.

The works that will receive the highest number of single votes from the public (one for each registered user), will win the digital laurel of the Festival edition:

Best Feature Film
Best Short Film
