BAKUNAWA FEST (formerly Bakunawa Young Cinema) is the first fantastic and genre-based film, art & music festival in the Philippines and the longest-running fantastic filmfest in Southeast Asia. Bakunawa is a mythical dragon-like creature in Philippine mythology that devoured moons. Because we are a genre-bending film fest, we want to flip the Bakunawa's role and we want it to instead symbolize the creative monsters inside us.

Bakunawa Festival has an annual film camp and series of film workshops for young Filipino filmmakers that culminates into a section of our festival, producing mostly genre films (horror, sci-fi, fantasy, folk, noir, folk, etc). The films that the film camp participants produce competes in a unique section created for young filmmakers.

Bakunawa Fest loves new visions, new voices. We support young promising filmmakers, artists and musicians who either have no access to expensive workshops and may not have the name/recognition to be programmed in a festival. Since our third edition, we have included a section that screens curated local and international films - mainly for educational purposes. Most of the Bakunawa Film Camps are done as outreach programs/workshops and are hosted by different cities in the Philippines.

During the pandemic years and lockdowns from 2020-2022, we have temporarily migrated to mostly online screenings but, in 2023, we shall conduct more live screenings following health protocols. For our tenth edition, we will do a semi-hybrid festival wherein we screen more films in live venues and do a limited program online.

We also continue our partnership with SolarFlix TV wherein we show curated film programs on Philippine Primtime TV, screening to Filipino audiences all over the Philippines reaching to millions of viewers.

Call for Entries and Script Funding Competition

Myanmar ist endowed with one of the richest eco-systems and natural resources in South-East Asia, from which people depend for their livelihoods, social, economic, and spiritual well-being. Howver, degradation of the environment, especially through deforestation, is rapidly affecting the natural capital of the Country, and therefore people depending on it. In addition, Myanmar is one of the most exposed countries to the negative effects of climate change. Observed changes in the last six decades already resulted in agricultural productivity, increased frequency and intensitiy of floods, cyclons and droughts, and included human cost and economic losses. Unfortunately, these changes are projected to continue. If migitation at the global level is not effective, increase in temperatures will continue, Monsson season will continue to shrink, and more desctructive haevy rains, strong storms and ceylones, will affect the Country, while sea-level rise will provoke inundations and salinizaiton.

The Goethe-Institut Myanmar together with the Myanmar Climate Change Alliance implemented by the United Natoins Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and other like-minded partners have taken the initiative to organize an international film festival, crating more awareness for the signs and the reasons of climate change and enviornmental degradation.

Film - whether documentaries or fiction movies - are among the best means of informing people and drawing more public attention to the topic. Our festival will not only present internationallay renowned and award-winning films but also lesser known works by filmmakers from Myanmar, from South East Asia and neighboring Asia countries.

Until the 15^th of February 2017 we will accept your entries dealing with the worldwide environmental phenomenon of changing climate conditions: its reasons and initiatives as to how to oppose this global crisis.

We are focusing on short films of not more than 50 minutes and not more than four years old (2013).

There will be two categories of awards allotted by an international jury:

• one for the best films from Myanmar
• one for the best films from South East Asia and neighboring countries 

In Both categories there will be two prizes: USD 1.000,- and USD 2.000,-

From the founder of Australia's two leading genre film festivals - A Night of Horror International Film Festival and Fantastic Planet, Sydney Sci-Fi and Fantasy Film Festival - comes a cinematic celebration of all things fantastic, frightening, underground, off-beat, alternative, and just plain weird... to the American Midwest!

The Midwest is filled with dark and mysterious byways, strange critters, and mythical beasties. And the great state of Wisconsin has more than its share: from the very real historical monsters Ed Gein and Jeffery Dahmer, to legendary cryptids like the Beast of Bray Road and the Hodag, to strange and wonderful places such as the Forevertron, a UFO landing port, and the mythical town of killer midgets known as Haunchyville.... It's the perfect territory for a festival that focuses on weird cinema from all around the world.

The festival team dreams of MidWest WeirdFest evoking the awe and chills of the sideshow alley of a dark carnival, a place filled with wonders, terrors, and forbidden surprises. The cinematic equivalent of a collection of pulp magazines and underground comix. A film festival that not only celebrates and showcases independent genre cinema - horror, sci-fi, fantasy, thriller - but one that welcomes all types of underground film. From experimental and avant-garde to offbeat documentaries. The festival's seasoned programmers can't wait to see what cinematic wonders await in MidWest WeirdFest's first season of festival submissions!

MidWest WeirdFest's main venue is the Micon Downtown Cinema, located in the welcoming college town of Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Following the success of our 2016 festival, we've expanded the the number of festival categories for 2017 and will award $18,000 in cash prizes, awards, festival revenue sharing with finalists, and distribution opportunities. 

We encourage you to submit all your great films, both current and past. Great mountain and adventure films don't go out of style. Film Festival Flix is the intersection between filmmakers and film lovers, working to build the most complete Mountain & Adventure film library, so audiences can find and purchase every film they've heard about in the past 50+ years.

The information and elements you provide below will be used to build your film page on the festival website and your individual film page on the Film Festival Flix On-Demand site following the festival, (should you opt in and be approved for sale on the FFF Platform). The more information and elements you provide, the better the experience for users who will be voting, rating, reviewing, and potentially purchasing your film.
