THE RING OF FIRE IS AN IMDb FILM FESTIVAL
THE RING OF FIRE
Welcome to The Ring of Fire International Film Festival! We are excited to share with you our festival's history and what we offer to filmmakers like you.
Our festival was born in 2013 with the goal of promoting local and national artists. In our early years, we projected 31 to 41 works in each edition. In 2022, we return with a totally different concept: we are now an international festival with the addition of international producers, directors, and distributors.
Here's what we offer to our filmmakers:
1. Big Event: We move to one of the most important cinemas in Barcelona with rooms of +500 spectators to give independent filmmakers like you the exposure you need. We have agreements with institutes, film schools, and cinema clubs to fill +90% of all the projections we do. If no one sees your project, you don't exist.
2. The Artist is the Star: We believe that festivals should get more involved with filmmakers, both in screenings and in social media promotion. Our number one goal is to help you in any way we can.
3. Networking: Our team consists of many film producers and people with many connections within the film industry. We will work to help you connect with the film industry.
4. Ultra Low Fees: More than 50% of the registration fee is paid by us or our sponsors. We live in difficult times, and it is our way of helping you to continue doing the festival circuit.
5. Communication: We have an entire communication team that will be happy to answer any questions you may have. We believe that communication is key, and we strive to keep you informed every step of the way.
Now, let's answer some frequent questions we receive:
1. What kind of premiere do you ask for? None. We will never rule out a project because it premiered in another country or festival. We don't believe in discarding projects just to have exclusivity.
2. Can I present a project premiered on YouTube? Yes, we support you 100%. We know how complicated it is to finish a project, and we are one of the few festivals in the world that accept projects uploaded to YouTube or other online platforms.
3. Can I submit a 2020 project? Yes, we do not rule out any project based on its production date. We believe that everyone deserves another chance.
We hope that you consider submitting your project to The Ring of Fire International Film Festival. We are excited to see what you have to offer and help you in your filmmaking journey. Thank you for your time!
