THE TEAM 2010
What is the MONACO CHARITY FILM FESTIVAL?
The Monaco Charity Film Festival is a venue that brings worldwide attention to new, emerging filmmakers as well as raising money to help impoverished and abandoned children around the world. This dual-focus event transcends the Cannes Film Festival in its humanitarian efforts and scope, and provides a wide variety of film workshops to gifted men and women from around the globe.
The festival takes place in multiple locations in Monaco, Monte Carlo, providing elegant backgrounds for the hopes of international talents.
In the span of two short years, the festival has grown in reputation and loyalty. Founder Vincente-Andres Zaragoza says of the festival, “We are fortunate that our festival takes place in such a culturally dynamic principality, and with this in mind, our intention is to ensure that the festival continues to consolidate its position as a vibrant, world-class event.”
Offering independent films, documentaries, and full length features, the Monaco Charity Film Festival offers visitors and viewers from around the world a glimpse into the untapped talents of film makers from around the world, and awards for best film, director, actor and promising film makers of the future.
