Building on the success of its first two editions, Zigguart Multimedia proudly presents the 3rd Edition of Zigguart FilmFest, taking place October 20–31, 2027, from Milan, Italy, and streamed internationally through Zigguart TV.
More than just an online film festival, Zigguart FilmFest is a professional launchpad for independent filmmakers seeking to take their stories beyond the screen—toward international visibility, industry recognition, and meaningful distribution opportunities.
An IMDb-Qualifying Film Festival
Zigguart FilmFest is an IMDb-qualifying festival, offering filmmakers the opportunity to document eligible festival awards and nominations on IMDb, subject to IMDb's listing requirements.
Why Submit to Zigguart FilmFest 2027?
At Zigguart FilmFest, we don't just celebrate your work—we help it reach new audiences and explore new opportunities.
As part of Zigguart Multimedia's international distribution network, the festival connects independent cinema with potential streaming, promotional, and professional opportunities beyond the festival itself.
A Growing Platform for Independent Cinema
Following two successful editions, Zigguart FilmFest continues to bring together filmmakers from different countries, cultures, and creative backgrounds.
Our 2027 edition aims to discover exceptional storytelling, celebrate artistic innovation, and provide a welcoming international platform for both emerging and established filmmakers.
Global Streaming Exposure
Officially selected films will have the opportunity to be showcased online through Zigguart TV, allowing audiences around the world to discover and enjoy independent cinema during the festival.
Our online format removes geographical barriers and makes the festival accessible to international audiences.
International Distribution & Partnership Opportunities
One of the festival's distinguishing features is its connection with Zigguart Multimedia, an international film distribution and sales company.
Selected films may be considered for distribution through our network of streaming and distribution partners, including Fawesome, CPICS, GuideDoc, Bibliotele, Zigguart TV, Darkroom, Synergetic, and Brew.tv, as well as other potential AVOD, SVOD, TVOD, and FAST opportunities.
Distribution opportunities are evaluated individually and remain subject to filmmaker approval, rights availability, and platform acceptance.
Year-Round Collaboration & Professional Support
Our relationship with filmmakers doesn't necessarily end when the festival closes.
Through Zigguart Multimedia, eligible selected films may benefit from additional professional support, including:
Professional Film Catalogue: Creating a dedicated promotional page on Zigguart.it to showcase the film, its synopsis, credits, artwork, festival achievements, and streaming availability.
Industry Database Visibility: Supporting the creation, correction, and optimization of film information on platforms such as IMDb, TMDB, and Letterboxd, where applicable and subject to each platform's policies.
