OMAI Film and Theatre Festival (0)

Фестиваль начинается: 01 Ноябрь 2016      Фестиваль заканчивается: 10 Ноябрь 2016

OMAI Film and Theatre Festival is a branch of OMAI. The festival was born in San Antonio, Texas at the very beginning of 2016 by Actress/Director Andrea Mundaka. Now, in alliance with the Journalist/Director Luis Franceschi, both working together to achieve a successful launch of the festival this year in Mendoza, Argentina. The idea of it is to promote the audiovisual arts around the world and give the opportunity to others to show their work and dedication for this type of art. We believe that by helping each other grow, we can all make it, and what better way to show our work than a festival? The submissions are open to everyone who has anything ready to show in a movie theatre. We want to work together, along with all the members of OMAI to make this festival a complete success, and show the hidden jewels of film around the world.

The winners of BEST FILM will have an open pass for the following 5 years to enter another film in the festival without having to go through pre-selection.

Win a Trophy.
