Unofficial Google+ Film Festival (0)

Inicio Festival: 18 septiembre 2015      Fin Festival: 20 septiembre 2015

Our festival can be attended from anywhere in the world with a computer, smart phone, or tablet. We strive to bring more attention and recognition to brilliant filmmaking being created around the world and help to connect filmmakers with one another.

By recreating the film festival experience online and offering it for free, as well as holding live events simultaneously around the globe, our short film festival will bring a much higher viewership than any other festival in the world.

A live, online, interactive, global, short film festival that extends and broadens viewers outside the common film festival experience and allows a much larger audience to enjoy the films from the comforts of their own homes.

The Unofficial Google+ Film Festival is complete with several film panels as well as live Q&A sessions with the filmmakers after each block of short films. This new and innovative festival is the future of the digital age for filmmakers and film fans everywhere. Movies are seen by thousands of attentive and film loving people around the world all at the same time (instead of being limited by a smaller geographical location).

Our mission is to become the world’s premier online, interactive, short film, and web series film festival to close out the year of all other film festivals.

In addition, select films will be invited to be seen at the Sunur Village Festival from August 19 - August 23 as well as the Open Air Cinema at Kuta Beach, Bali at the Blue Sapphire Club & Bar at the Stones Entertainment Centre from September 18 - September 20, 2015
