MISSION:
The Mission of Virgin Spring Cinefest is to create a platform that every filmmaker needs, in order to showcase and get recognitions for their films. The objective of the Film Festival is to support independent filmmakers through reviewing, judging, marketing, and distribution networking, and trying to overcome any other obstacles which potentially hinder the artist’s ability to create. We have created monthly editions to give continuity to the selection process and a steady feedback to the filmmakers. Instead of waiting for months before getting an answer from the festival, filmmakers are immediately contacted if selected. Their works are privately screened every month and evaluated by a team of experts in the industry. All entries do not compete against each other. Instead, entries are judged against a high standard of merit and are scored accordingly. The event aims to create a strong relationship between filmmakers, producers, and distributors from all over the world.
In these extreme times we have been witness to a boom in creativity. We see the most amazing photos, memes and films on social media. We would like to show and honour people all over the world who are coping with their problems in special ways.
This 3-day film festival with live audience (if the Corona virus allows us) is open to film makers from all over the world who filmed something special with the Corona crisis as main topic. Our jury of internationally award winning film makers will hand out awards in ten different categories.
