was created during the COVID19 pandemic in order to encourage filmmakers to continue on producing and allow them to have an affordable platform to show their work. On this platform, filmmakers will have the chance to display both their trailers and films, and a Jury made out of professionals from the film industry will choose monthly a festival winner in different categories.

Monthly Festival allows participants to choose between putting on our platform the full movie or keeping the trailer for premiere consideration. Publishing the trailer doesn’t affect the Judges’ decision.

For August, the Asian selection includes:

Operation Banana – Short Movie – Singapore

Joker the True Lover – Short Movie –  India

Infinity of the Universe – Short Movie – Turkey

Memory – Short Movie – Turkey
