Santa Fe Movie Awards stands as an online seasonal international awards event, with aspirations of becoming a leading :lm institution in North America, attracting talented :lmmakers from across the globe. This extraordinary festival not only celebrates cinematic creativity and innovation but also provides both Santa Fe locals and visitors with a unique glimpse into the future of cinema. With a special emphasis on low- budget independent :lms and fostering inter-cultural understanding, this event seeks to offer a cultural alternative to mainstream cinema, while simultaneously supporting independent :lmmakers and championing the art of :lmmaking.
Throughout each season, :lms submitted to the festival undergo a rigorous assessment by our International Jury, who meticulously evaluate their overall artistic and technical quality on a performance scale. Only a select winners of each season will have the honor of being chosen for online screening and receiving prestigious awards, solidifying this festival’s reputation as a sought-after platform for emerging talent and groundbreaking cinematic experiences.
