All entries are promoted through our social media and website with a dedicated page with synopsis, film stills, and trailer. For this purpose, we recommend that projects must be fully entered on FilmFreeway, including film stills, production pictures, downloadable posters, and trailers or teasers. All projects officially selected in each season receive the Independent APOX Awards laurel and certificate. The 2021 selection included over 230 films, of which 42 films were shown, from over 18 countries around the world. The goal is to promote independent film directors and to stimulate interest in their work, with the main point of social thematic, that is the one that got lost in translation. People need to see the other world in real life, and we are giving these opportunities. We want independent filmmakers to have a chance to be seen, we are small, but we are big in a heart, and to one who doesn't have the opportunity to be on big festivals, we are giving them a boost, to maybe have a chance to be. Also, the goal of the festival is to promote young film directors and film works, and accordingly, in 2022 we plan to have a young/student film program during the APOX film festival, which will take into account the works of young directors under 22 and give them the opportunity to realize their dreams through our workshops. and may in the future be part of a new generation to be screened at the festival main program.
