SIMFEST GENERATION

In 15 years, we helped a generation of young media professionals grow. SIMFEST today is an emblem of creativity and talent, and of having the courage to face and stand-up to one's own audience.
COME TO THE FESTIVAL

However interesting a glance behind the scenes, the best seats at SIMFEST are in the projection room. Here you can meet the producers, the trainers and the SIMFEST guests and you can enter into dialogue with each of them.
JOIN THE SIMFEST COMMUNITY

Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube and talk directly with the producers and creators enrolled in the contest. Send us photos or movies from your city and we might be visiting you with the SIMFEST Caravan.
