About the festival

Celebrating experimental, unconvential and independent films we launched our VoD Platform 2018 and the same year initiated the annual Film Festival in Berlin with the same mission!

We welcome all forms of films made by film makers who go with their own style and stories - may they be macabre, unsympathetic, quiet, violent, dreamy or anything else.

We pay for accomodation for all selected films to encourage and support their travel to the Berlin for the Festival. The event aims to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where guests feel welcomed and at home - networking, mingling and simply having a good time. Participating at the festival should be a valuable experience, not just another screening in an unknown place.

Since 2019 we collaborate with Film Critic Kirk Fernwood, owner of the film critic blog onefilmfan.com. He writes extensives reviews on all participating films at the Festival. This is a collaboration we have entered so that all film makers regardless if visiting Berlin or not receives something valuable to bring with them on their continuous Festival and overall films journey.

Furthermore, all films are invited to our VoD Platform Illambra. We launched 2018 building completely from scratch and use a straight forward 50/50 model for revenue. For us it's first and foremost about true independent films finding a home online where they can be hosted and presented together in a qualitative manner. We're looking to build a solid library over time, presenting authors rather than titles, and grow the user base organically.

For more information please do not hesitate do contact us.
