VIRGIN SPRING CINEFEST

Virgin Spring Cinefest is a monthly international film festival, with a yearly live screening mega event in the City of Joy, Kolkata (India) . The monthly live screenings takes place at Rotary Sadan (one of the most prestigious movie venues of Kolkata). The festival has been named in honour of Ingmer Bergman’s classic film ‘Virgin Spring’ and it has been launched to showcase independent art-house films from around the world.

Mission

The Mission of Virgin Spring Cinefest is to create a platform that every filmmaker needs, in order to showcase and get recognitions for their films. The objective of the Film Festival is to support independent filmmakers through reviewing, judging, marketing, and distribution networking, and trying to overcome any other obstacles which potentially hinder the artist’s ability to create. We have created monthly editions to give continuity to the selection process and a steady feedback to the filmmakers. Instead of waiting for months before getting an answer from the festival, filmmakers are immediately contacted if selected. Their works are privately screened every month and evaluated by a team of experts in the industry. All entries do not compete against each other. Instead, entries are judged against a high standard of merit and are scored accordingly. The monthly winners will then compete to be screened at our annual event. The event aims to create a strong relationship between filmmakers, producers and distributors from all over the world.
