The Paramount Cine Carnival (1)

Début du Festival: 01 octobre 2024      Fin du Festival: 28 février 2025

The Paramount Film Festival is a premier celebration of cinematic artistry, dedicated to honoring the highest achievements in filmmaking. True to its name, “Paramount” symbolizes the pinnacle of creative excellence, where visionary filmmakers, compelling storytelling, and masterful craftsmanship take center stage.

​

More than just an awards event, the festival serves as a global platform for groundbreaking cinema, uniting filmmakers, industry leaders, and film enthusiasts. With a commitment to prestige and artistic integrity, the Paramount Film Festival showcases films that inspire, challenge, and redefine the boundaries of storytelling.

All Officially Selected projects in each month will receive laurels and certificates. All monthly award winners will receive laurels and customized certificates and are rated on their respective IMDb pages (if applicable). Each month, most representatives of monthly award winners are screened at New York.

Besides the BEST OF THE CATEGORY AWARDS, there are also OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS, CRITICS CHOICE AWARDS, AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARDS, and HONOURABLE MENTION AWARDS, which are given, in all categories. All monthly winners of the period from a 12-month calendar will be automatically nominated for the prestigious annual award (the best of the best) and they will be invited to attend our Annual Live Screening Gala in Stockholm in the presence of juries, critics, film scholars and eminent movie personalities from across the globe.
Films entered in multiple categories may win multiple awards.
