With a programme that showcases new talent alongside established directors, filmmakers and actors UKFF is a lively networking hub. Over the last 7 years UKFF has quickly become a career stepping stone, establishing a tradition of discovering and promoting films which have gone on to be Oscar and BAFTA nominees and winners.

The Standalone Film Festival & Awards is in its 3rd Season and renamed as Lumiére Standalone Film Festival & Awards. We want to dedicate our good intentional motive to be blessed by the fathers of Cinematography Lumiére Brothers, who invented the CINEMA. In the 1st season, Mr. Kumaar Aadarsh visioned bringing independent filmmakers together from all across the world, and his vision became true. 1st time, in a 7 days festival 143 independent films from all over the world were shown at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood from August 06 to 12. On August 12, 2021, in spite of COVID restrictions, facilitated 43 categories of Awards. Kumaar is an Indian movie-maker, distributor, exhibitor, and actor based in Mumbai. Being an independent filmmaker he understands the problems of standalone makers. Producing films and making money from those are totally different compartments. On August 12, 2021, during the Award show, he promised to assist all filmmakers who participated or who will participate in the future in releasing, exhibiting, and distributing by providing them a separate dashboard for their movie exploitation all over the world. We are working continuously to empower independent filmmakers. We created the marketplace for them to MONETIZE their films. We are now more powerful with the creation of our digital-theatrical marketing tools. Standing alone has limited power but when all standalone unite, they Rise-Together. All filmmakers who would be part of SFFA able to operate independently of our marketplace software.
Therefore, In this season, Standalone will be with a transparent dashboard for each selected film.

Our Mission

Our community exists at the intersection of a broader, more inclusive, cinematic gaze and the emergence of truly exceptional cinema.
If films are the content, Alfama is the form that sets the tone for the experiences we create. An architectural somatisation of intimacy, this is the scene in which we invite your films to make their appearance.
Our Story
in 2009 as an informal project to showcase independent cinema in the recondite alleys of Alfama, projected against its iconic stone walls.
In the following years, Cinalfama matured and became a competitive event of an international character, as well as a cultural reference in Lisbon.
The nature of the events has changed over the years, but the atmosphere, films and venues remain as intimate as they have always been.
Our Home
Founded in 1914, Grupo Sportivo Adicense is one of the oldest and most authentic remaining symbols of Alfama’s true soul.
World famous fado singers started their careers waiting tables at this historical institution – one that still stands in the face of constant change and mischaracterisation of the neighbourhood’s urban landscape
Screening Sessions
Tucked into the backstreets of Lisbon’s old town, Alfama, our intimate screenings take place in the city’s oldest cultural house, Grupo Sportivo Adicense.
We host three seasonal screening editions throughout the year, to showcase and award the best talent and films of each one. These are free entrance and all films have English subtitles.
Due to the current pandemic and associated restrictions, we have decided to host next January 2024 edition online, making available a selection of the very best films of the season. Aiming to have live screenings back real soon.
For us, Jewish film is not only aimed at films created by Jews or about Jews, and not only at direct and labeled Jewish themes, but also at films whose content is a confrontation between Jewish values in their broadest sense.
For example: parent-child relationships, (as an extension of the halacha about respecting parents) and so on.
We are intrigued to meet quality films, loaded with a high emotional charge, that can provide a refreshing, upsetting, happy, painful or inspiring look, about the tension between values and ideals and the everyday challenges of existence.
The theme chosen for this year's Gula Jewish Film Festival is the struggles and conflicts that arise at the meeting between the values of the Jewish tradition in the broadest sense and/or the limits of Jewish law, and different realities in human, community, and/or political life.
The festival will host competitive screening slots of films of various genres and lengths, for five consecutive screening evenings.
