Festival

Festival presentation: 

Eleanor International Film Festival is a film festival that focuses on films that trigger people to think about modern social issues while they enjoy them as entertainment. In addition to the social issues being paid attention to by media, the festival also welcomes films that raise new social issues that exist in people’s everyday life. In this film competition, we target young film directors and have directors judging from all over the world to decide on the award winners. Those who win an award will be allocated a film-production budget by our company so that they have an opportunity to produce a short/long film. We look forward to receiving entries of various films with extensive expressions.
