Welcome to our groundbreaking film festival, where the spirit of independent filmmaking and storytelling reigns supreme! 🎬🌟
Here, we believe in celebrating the pure essence of creativity without the shackles of stringent regulations. Our platform stands as a testament to the unwavering support for independent filmmakers and writers, offering a sanctuary free from the limitations imposed by territorial premieres, language barriers, or the technical confines of DCP requirements.
In this vibrant space, we embrace the diversity of voices, narratives, and artistic expressions from around the globe. We welcome storytellers of all backgrounds, providing an inclusive haven where innovation thrives, unencumbered by traditional constraints.
At our festival, you'll witness a kaleidoscope of perspectives and styles, a testament to the beauty of unrestricted storytelling. Here, the spotlight shines on the raw authenticity of narratives, not confined by geographical boundaries or language barriers. It's a celebration of artistic freedom, where the artistry and vision of each filmmaker and writer take center stage, unimpeded by unnecessary rules.
Many of the iconic characters that we have in our cover were created by artists who followed their instinct, without paying attention to the criticism of others. At kick the rules we seek precisely that. Be yourselves, believe whatever you want without fear of being wrong. Can you allow us to accompany you in this process?
Frequent questions:
YOUR FESTIVAL IS ONLINE, WILL MY PROJECT BE OPEN ONLINE?
No. Absolutely not. The project is yours and we do not have any right to publish it online. Our system is different. What we do is do private screenings for Distributors/Producers and programmers from other film festivals to help you create the maximum opportunities. If your project is seen in theaters of 200 spectators at other festivals, that is very good because the public will discover you. But imagine that instead of 200 spectators there are 200 distributors. The chances of your project making the leap to the professional world multiply.
HOW DO YOU HELP IN THE PROMOTION OF THE PROJECTS?
We believe a lot in the power of social networks. That is why all projects registered in the festival will have a promotional post on our social networks. We also present the best projects to distributors and producers so that you have the maximum possible opportunities.
MANY FESTIVALS ELIMINATE YOU IF YOUR PROJECT IS 1 OR 2 YEARS OLD. WHAT HAPPENS AT YOUR FESTIVAL?
We are one of the few festivals that does not have a production year limit. They only do this to have exclusive projects without caring about the situation of the filmmakers. Here it doesn't matter if your project is from 2023 or 2016. It is the home of independent filmmakers and we believe in second, third and 4th chances.
THEN YOU RECOMMEND THAT WE REGISTER AN OLD PROJECT?
Each project is unique and we should study it, but in general we have detected that filmmakers do the festival circuit for only a few months and end up abandoning the project. Having a finished project costs a lot. Not just money, a lot of time and a thousand problems. Projects cannot be abandoned so quickly. We support creating a good festival strategy so as not to waste money, but continue to register the project over the years to give the project the maximum opportunity to be successful.
THEN YOU DON'T DEMAND ANY TERRITORIAL PREMIER?
Absolutely not. It seems very selfish to us that some festivals demand world, continental or territorial premier just so that those festivals have the exclusive rights to your project. The project is yours and you should be able to release it wherever and however you want without losing any opportunity.
DO WE NEED SUBTITLES IF THE PROJECT IS NOT IN ENGLISH?
No. Thanks to the use of artificial intelligence we can subtitle any language. So if your project is not in English, don't worry. We take care of everything.
IS OUR PROJECT ELIMINATED IF WE HAVE IT RELEASED ON ANY DIGITAL PLATFORM LIKE YOUTUBE?
No. Our festival philosophy is: Your project is yours and yours alone and you can do with it whatever you want. If you have decided to release it on YouTube to promote it, it seems perfect to us. We support you 100x100.
DO WE NEED DCP FOR PROJECTIONS?
No. Our screenings are private and we do them through filmfreeway. You do not need to send us any extra materials.
