Film festivals are important cultural events that celebrate the art of cinema through intercultural dialogue. As key platforms for cooperation, festivals promote local cinema to the international market.

Festivals shape and give voice to future creative forces: young filmmakers gain status and recognition, while producers receive funding and credibility.
Festivals set high standards for films, encouraging them to unravel deeper stories for audiences, tackle topics never discussed before, and promote diversity in cinema. Cinematic future trends are often formed at festivals—what films should be about, what the audience demands, and who will become the heroes of the film industry. Festivals also provide an opportunity to promote auteur cinema.

Festivals are always about the connection with the audience. Their success is reflected in high attendance, full cinema halls, star presence at the events, and undoubtedly in emotional moments.
