Welcome to our Independent Film Festival! An event dedicated to celebrating the creativity and passion of emerging filmmakers and screenwriters.

What makes us different?

1. Visibility. If no one sees you, you don't exist. Our events have an attendance of more than 90% in all our screenings thanks to our agreements with schools and institutions.

2. International distribution. Our team serves the most important film markets and can connect your projects with big companies and producers. Proof of this is that Enjoy Film Festival has attracted the attention of large international projects. In the last edition we awarded Omar Sy, the leading actor of "The Intouchables" and the international group Little Big with more than 3.8 billion views on YouTube. If we could help these great artists, imagine what we can do with independent filmmakers and writers.

3. Promotion. Networks and collaboration: We believe in the power of social networks and collaboration. Our festival promotes all projects registered in Vip and All categories, so we guarantee great international exposure for both selected and non-selected projects. This is a unique opportunity to make valuable contacts and find potential collaborators for future projects.

4. We subsidize part of each registration. As you can see, registration is very cheap compared to most festivals. This is because as a festival we make a great effort to look for sponsors to pay part of the real cost of each registration.

5. Communication. We will keep you informed of all the steps of the festival. If you are nominated, you will receive a personal email notifying each category to which you have been nominated and we will send you the personalized laurels for your project.

We invite you to join us at our Independent Film Festival and be part of this exciting celebration of independent cinema. Together, let's show the power of creativity and storytelling to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
