GRACE!

GRACE! International Film Festival & Cinema Awards is an annual international event focusing on independent filmmakers. Located in the centre of Berlin, we look forward to host an unique event at Arsenal cinema theatre. The Festival’s mission is to support independent filmmakers and to bring them to wider attention. Our aim is to give the talented filmmakers a helpful step in their future careers and to provide them an alternative to the commercial film experience. 

 The GRACE! IFF accepts films of any genre and format and will showcase some of the excellentest international short films in Narrative, Documentary, Experimental, Animation, Student, Debut, Woman Filmmaker, Young Filmmaker, Trailer, Music Video and Drone Film.
 The GRACE! IFF accepts screenplays as well and has a student category to submit and provides special fees for them. We take to heart the amount of work put into each film. The committee judge all films equally and with great respect and consideration. The quality standard of the Festival is very high, so finalists of this competition can be really proud of their achievement. All the finalists will go to the annual competition ending with the live screening event in Berlin we organize each season. Some of the winner films will also be screened at other international film festivals. Please note that we will not display your films or screenplays online, with the exception of a poster, a description and/or a trailer.
