Some of the films that have participated to Global Nonviolent Film Festival in the previous years went on to get distribution and to qualify for nomination consideration at the Academy Awards.

The Awards handed at the Festival are listed on the IMDB. The past 6 years of Awards (starting with 2012) are available here:

Between September 20 – 30, the films are available for viewing only on the Festival’s TV Channel and NO downloads are possible. Downloads of the films are not allowed for the protection of the product; additionally, as soon as the Festival ends, all the films are removed from the channel. The trailers, however, remain available indefinitely so that the films continue to be promoted internationally for a very long time.

Any other festival, such as Cannes, showcases the films locally only; the international viewers do not have access to watch them or to familiarize themselves with the names of all the selected filmmakers. At Global Nonviolent Film Festival, the world viewers can watch the films and enjoy them from the comfort of their homes; they can read about the filmmakers in Daria! magazine and they can view, every day, the video presentations provided for every movie. This makes GNFF the best place for producers to showcase their work.

Press Accreditation:

Members of the media who are interested to watch and review the participating films, are invited to apply for a VIP Pass that will give them access to viewing all films, on the Festival’s on-line channel, during the 11-day period of the event, from September 20 to 30.
