"Circle Art Film Company" was born in 2005 by Amirhossein Makouei. This company has produced and distributed many independent films. But in 2022, this company decided to launch an International Independent Short film festival called "Circle Art Film Award", which can start its activities with the beginning of the First Edition and the 2023 by providing highly professional infrastructure. It is an
independent film festival and supports professional and emerging filmmakers in the field to broadcast and promote their films in the form of an event. The "CIRCLE ART FILM AWARD" is an exciting new International Short Film festival that celebrates the best in Horror/Mystery, Action/Thriller and Drama Genre. Notice: “Suggested special topic for the first edition: Age of Aquarius - Human life from 2020 onwards facing artificial intelligence, raising awareness and expanding love”
Our festival is designed to support emerging and established filmmakers from around the world, giving them a platform to showcase their work and compete for prestigious awards and recognition. The festival is divided into four seasonal competitions, each with its own submission deadline, judging period, and awards ceremony. The competition categories and themes will be announced in advance, giving filmmakers the opportunity to create innovative and compelling films that fit within the festival's parameters. To participate in the festival, filmmakers must submit their films through the FilmFreeway platform and pay a submission fee of $8 per film. The films will be reviewed by a panel of expert judges, who will evaluate them based on criteria such as story, cinematography, sound, and overall impact. The winners of each seasonal competition will receive prizes and recognition, with a grand prize awarded to the best film of the festival at the end of the fourth season. We believe that the "CIRCLE ART FILM AWARD" is a unique and valuable opportunity for filmmakers to gain exposure, connect with audiences and industry professionals, and advance their careers. Our festival is committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of our operations, and we welcome submissions from filmmakers of all backgrounds and identities. We look forward to receiving your submissions and honoring the best horror, action and drama films in the first "CIRCLE ART FILM AWARD" First Edition 2023.
