Festival description (Edition: 1)

Festival start: 05 September 2025 Festival end: 07 September 2025

Our mission is to have a festival dedicated to films that strive to make a difference. In this our inaugural year we are looking for films to showcase that will encourage people to look at the world around them in a different light. We are looking for short films, feature films and documentaries that challenge the status quo and ask the viewers to reevaluate their views on how things work. We will be viewing the films in the scenic Niagara Falls, NY at the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center on September 5-7, 2025 and will invite people to come view the selected films and give real time feedback to how the films made them feel.

Prizes and qualifications

The films will be evaluated and winners will be named in the following categories:

Best Micro-Short Film (less than 5 minutes)

Best Short Film (5-40 Minutes)

Best Feature Film (over 40 minutes)

Best Documentary

Best Actor

Best Director

Rules

1. No excessive nudity, violence or foul language. If it doesn't create a valuable part of the story, it doesn't belong.

2. No films that single out groups for derision or hatred, we are about creating an equitable world by lifting people up, not dragging others down.

3. All content must be owned by the filmmakers or licensed to the filmmaker.
