About
A real opportunity to new filmmakers to share their creativity, talent and showcase to new audiences. This is A festival about networking.
Welcome to the PIIF! We are aiming to discover independent projects from all genres from all countries and help them to be represented in the global film industry, meet people, make contacts.
So you have a movie…
Or even more than one. It's a short or music video, of up to 40 minutes.
Probably it's not and won't be your only one. Sure you don't want it to be your last work. But it's a film that you wish will impact those who watch it. You believe that it deserves to be seen and shown to the World. You'll be part of the cinema industry, present your art and your way of making a film.
The PIIF Festival is a great place to step into the world of cinema. PIIF has a generous atmosphere for filmmaking. It may be here that your work gains deserved visibility. And it will also be here that you may meet the partners for your next production. Many will also know you and interesting possibilities will appear.
This is how it has been happening at PIIF
You already know that a successful filmmaker career takes place when your network is in constant growth. PIIF is this environment: real and virtual, where we get to know you and you get known in the film industry. Every great filmmaker made the first film. Almost always, it was a short film. And just like the filmmakers, actors, screenwriters, photographers, costume designers, makeup artists, producers, and every player in the film industry went through the sacred moment of making a short film. For many, it was the first step in building a career.
PIIF is structured to give maximum visibility, opportunity, and recognition to cinema professionals through nomination, prominence, presentation, awards in several categories. This year we will expand our structure for receiving and appreciating films. More judgment systems and new categories will be appreciated.
“Filmmaker, it will be a pleasure and a responsibility to receive your film. We know that almost everyone here wants to live with movies, from movies, and for movies. This is our contribution. PIIF is our home. Welcome.”
