Our festival is dedicated to promoting positive change on a global scale, addressing important issues such as climate change, human and animal rights, and social and cultural matters. We believe in the power of film to raise awareness and inspire action.

At FUIFF, our mission is to provide independent filmmakers with a platform to showcase their work and gain recognition. We understand the importance of creative freedom and aim to support filmmakers in expressing their unique visions without the constraints of commercial demands.

Our objective is to assist independent filmmakers in overcoming obstacles and reaching their full potential. Through our comprehensive review process, networking opportunities, and marketing support, we strive to empower filmmakers and help them navigate the industry.

To ensure a seamless selection process and provide timely feedback, we run a monthly edition of our festival. Filmmakers will be notified promptly if their work is selected, and our team of industry experts will evaluate and review their films on a regular basis.

We value the individuality of each entry and prioritize the impact and message of the film or documentary. FUIFF aims to foster a strong global network of filmmakers, producers, and distributors, facilitating collaboration and opportunities for growth. We are excited to witness the creativity and talent showcased in your films.

We are shifting to a new name: MY NAME IS CLIMATE, An announcement will be made during the film festival.

We are an IMDb Qualified Festival since 2015.
