Our vision and mission is to inspire, educate, and empower the next generation of filmmakers.

What our Vision and mission ? We believe that films and visual storytelling are powerful tools and medium that can create positive change in the world. By empowering young creatives now, we aim to ignite a new generation of creative leaders and filmmakers. We offer our audience a space to meet and exchange around the universal themes of tales, legends, and the stories that bring us together.

The festival is also a declaration of love to the short format and fantasy movies. The short film as a medium can make the audience dream, the filmmaker test special effects or to create a “Minimum Valuable Product” to finance their Feature Film. We like to help our filmmakers take their first step in the industry by giving them a little nudge, whether it’s connecting them with people who matter or helping them develop the key skills for success.

We select a limited number of films voluntarily and with high standards, so that once the festival is over, we can continue to accompany young professionals who wish to do so in their cinematographic adventures. We also program feature films and documentaries out of competition for the children’s programs.
