RTF Realtime International Film Festival

Welcome to the 7th edition of the Realtime International Film Festival (RTF) Founded in 2016, our vision is “to build a truly International, all-inclusive and remotely accessible Film Festival”. Our core values are Inclusiveness, Collaboration, and equity _ (ICE) Our corporate VISION is “to become the most acclaimed technology-driven, remotely accessible Festival in Africa with a keen interest in Cultural & Creative Arts". We believe we have redefined the festival landscape for good, with several timely innovations and interventions. The 2022 Edition will be Hybrid in nature, and as usual, will feature our signature Real-time Filmmaking Challenge! Our MISSION is to champion an Artistic baseline where equity and openness is enhanced among Creative Artists, Filmmakers & Film Enthusiasts; in other words, a platform "Where everyone feels equal" 'Our LANGUAGE is "ART", our MEDIUM is "TECHNOLOGY" and we celebrate the "HUMAN TALENTS" responsible for churning out "ARTISTIC FILMS" The Festival accepts entries from filmmakers across the world without discrimination. We also offer waivers for submission fees to filmmakers from countries like Iran, Pakistan, and others who can't pay for submissions due to limitations caused by sanctions imposed on their countries. We celebrate the FILMS (especially Artistic Films) and their MAKERS. We also celebrate and expose current TECHNOLOGIES that affect the art of filmmaking. We do not seek to be the most glamorous Festival, but rather, "the most Accessible, All-inclusive, Innovative, Eco-friendly, and Technology attentive" Festival in Africa that attracts the world!

As a festival, we are obliged to screen selected films, but we DO NOT screen any movie outside the submission window for a given edition (year) hence, films submitted in a given year can and shall not be shown at our festival or any related event, afterward, except they are expressly required for a specially curated screening. 2. We often use clips, stills, and photographs from submitted movies for festival-related "visuals" - including posters, banners, and electronic displays - all geared towards promoting and publicizing the festival. We use extracted sequences with a maximum duration of 20 seconds - from submitted films; for the purpose of promotions and publicity as well.
