The Serbest International Film Festival has been organized to showcase the work of film makers from around the world. Its aim is to discover new directors and screenwriters from the world of cinema and give clear support and encouragement to them, but it is also a space where they will represent and promote their work. We especially encourage those who through new innovative approach to the topics can offer a new more human vision of the world in which we live.SIFF is a cultural organization whose mission is to transform the way people see the world through film.
The idea of a new film festival emanated from the dire need for a wider space to present films by many new filmmakers from the region and all over the world.The Serbest International Film Festival brings together the most original storytellers and the most adventurous audiences in its annual program of feature, documentary, short, experimental, animation and other films.In addition to the main program of the festival, there will be many other programs and activities that will enrich the festival and enable film makers to enhance their knowledge of cinematography and experience by participating in panel discussions, debates, and masterclass workshops.
We continue to move forward and develop our film festival, creating better conditions and opportunities for filmmakers.That is why in 2023 we have launched a new platform, Serbest Film Distribution, which is designed to help film festival participants distribute and promote their films. You can get acquainted with the Serbest Film Distribution platform on the website - www.serbestdistribution.com
The full-scale launch of the Serbest Film Distribution platform will take place in February-March 2024 and will be a new milestone in the promotion of independent cinema from around the world.
The Serbest International Film Festival therefore includes activities such as promotion, support, incentives, exchange of experiences, and film awards. It's a place where filmmakers can showcase new stories and offer a fresh perspective on humanity and the world we live in.
This cultural proposal takes place within the framework of the commemoration of a new anniversary of Punta del Este, celebrating the best independent cinema from around the world. It began as a Mercosur cinema and grew to become an international festival. Cine del Mar has been declared of Presidential Interest and is sponsored and supported by the Ministry of Tourism, the Municipality of Maldonado, the Municipality of Punta del Este, the Ministry of Education and Culture through ACAU (Uruguayan Film and Audiovisual Association), and the embassies of the participating countries.
