We understand that you understand the realm of understanding and so you have created your wonderful films with your conscious understanding.
Showcasing Greatness through Audio-Visual
Through vantage point we see that entertainment is just the medium to share realm of life with film lovers. If we penetrate the meaning of life sometime we feel that there is no such meaning or purpose to life, yes! Sometime, but we must have to give a great meaning or purpose to life to create great message for whole humanity or for our next generation.
We are really very small people; please understand what we want to say. But the task or mission which we want to empower is very big. One can understand it by the example of river. The beginning or origin of every river is so small but her consistency with selflessness leads her towards more hugeness.
Most Welcome!
Dear human beings, being human it is good if we transform each moment into humane one.
We really admire your passion and enthusiasm as a filmmaker so with humbleness we invite filmmakers from all across the globe to share your great films into Great Message International Film Festival - GMIFF.

The Latin American Film Festival of Bordeaux, France, was born in 1983, aiming at promoting quality films not or little broadcasted in France.
It started at a time when Latin American Cinema was completely missing in French movie theaters. For some years now, we are glad to witness that Latin American Film production has greatly grown and entered distribution channels in Europe. However, our mission does not end, as Latin American films are still not present enough and the richness they offer makes us believe, every year, that our Festival has still a great mission to accomplish.
The Latin American Film Festival of Bordeaux, since it was created, has gathered more than 65.000 people, of all ages, rushing to meet our more than 2.500 professionals invited throughout our history (directors, producers, technicians, lecturers...), to attend to more than 100 concerts, art exhibitions, workshops... and to participate to more than 300 meetings and conferences, and unforgettable moments.
The u22 Festival is the young film festival of Barcelona, the meeting and networking point for young filmmakers from all over the world. From 25th to 29th September 2024 at the Joan Miró Foundation of Barcelona, and online in Filmin.
We are a monthly film club and invite film-makers to talk about their films.
The audience are big movie watchers and enjoy discovering the talent of tomorrow.
We encourage all film-makers to get people to come to our screenings as this is the perfect place to watch indie short films and also independent, non-theatrically released feature films.
We also have a script reading committee who are happy to read short film scripts and write up a script report.
If the committee feel that the script is worthy of being passed on to a producer or director whom we have met through our film club, we will be happy to establish a connection.
