Phare International Film Festival

Dear Fellow Film Maker It is with great pleasure that we invite you to participate in the upcoming Phare International Film Festival in Mauritius. Phare International Film Festival is organised by a dedicated team of local film-makers. Having created films and entered festivals ourselves, we wanted to create a festival of our own. Learning from our experience and applying our knowledge, we aim to empower local and regional film-makers. Our film festival brings local and international film-makers together in Mauritius to share culture, ideas, knowledge, experience, and, more importantly, each other’s creations. We have created categories for local film-makers, including a special one for young film-makers aged under 25. When submitting your films, they will be assessed and passed forward to the independent judging phase. Phare International Film Festival will include live screening sessions of selected nominees from local and international entries at MCine Trianon between 14 and 16th December. Our festival will close on 17th December with a grande finale at RM Garden, Trianon. The event will be an extravaganza. Beginning with an exclusive gala dinner prepared by an award-winning local chef, an evening of live entertainment, guest speakers and, of course, our awards ceremony. An evening that will truly celebrate the creative arts and our beautiful Island Paradise. Full details are available on our website or by email. Feel free to reach out if you require any further information. The deadline for all submissions is 30th November 2021 - No exceptions. We look forward to sharing your project and to welcoming you to Phare International Film Festival.
