THE HONORARY PRESIDENT MESSAGE

The film industry has been greatly affected by the technological advancement we are experiencing at present, and it has become necessary to keep pace with this development day after day.

There is no doubt that “Vs-films – very short films” have become part of this required development in the world of cinema, despite the difficulty of this type of film due to the very short period that controls what the writer and director present in their film.

We hope that this festival will play a vital role in consolidating and developing the industry of this type of film, which we called «Momental Movies» after we saw the importance of classifying this type of film as an independent genre in the world of cinema after we saw how this type swept the entire world through electronic platforms and social media.

PRIZES AND AWARDS

The festival prizes are divided into two main competitions The first are films that are no more than 5 minutes long The second is films that are no more than 10 minutes long

our mission

We dream of allowing talents the freedom to pursue their passion now, instead of waiting for the long-traveled road to a degree. Rather than suffer the boredom of a minimum wage gig, what if students could continue learning and growing in a career pathway while still in education period? Through internships, students gain valuable skills and business experience that will give them a huge competitive edge when applying for future professional jobs. What else is amazing? We are simultaneously serving our community with their media needs.
