International Multicultural Film Festival

The International Multicultural Film Festival "IMFF" awaits you for 2 weeks of independent films made by filmmakers from vastly diverse ethnic and religious communities across the globe! IMFF celebrates diversity in traditions, opinions, cultures, and religions. It will celebrate those filmmakers who are struggling to showcase their works, within a climate of marginalization and isolation, racial or religious discrimination, secularism, sectarianism, or anti-religious sentiment. IMFF is not to open a cultural war but to build bridges of tolerance, understanding, and inclusion. International Multicultural Film Festival 2022 (second season) will be held in Melbourne and Perth, (Australia) from15 to 29 March 2022 during HARMONY WEEK and MULTICULTURAL & DIVERSITY Celebrations across Australia. IMFF is open to documentary and drama films, short and long (max length is 120 minutes). PLEASE NOTE: If your film is PRELIMINARY SELECTED and you did supply us with a DOWNLOADABLE COPIES OF: 1-your FIlm in FHD, 2- Trailer/ teaser 3- Poster within ONE WEEK then your film might be DISQUALIFIED. * There is no particular theme recommended but we stress on and encourage films telling stories about diversity, inclusion, and tolerance. Films have no race or religion! We all use moving pictures as a medium to tell a story or pass a message or change the world around us. So IMFF is not about race or religion, but about a vast group of people and communities who happen to be diverse in their race, religion, skin colour, political views, traditions, and cultures. Thereafter, the major criteria for entry are that films should be either: * MADE BY ANYONE TELLING STORIES ABOUT OUR RICH DIVERSITY, CELEBRATING OUR DIFFERENCES THROUGH INCLUSION AND TOLERANCE, AND PROMOTING A MORE PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE ON THIS PLANET. We look forward to seeing your submissions and welcoming you to the first year of the International Multicultural Film Festival between 9 and 29 August 2021.
