SHIFT Film Festival 2019

SHIFT Film Festival is an annual film festival which focuses on new filmmakers, shifts in addressed topics, filmmaking, culture and society. What we perceive is our reality. Filmmakers tend to limit themselves as what they see becomes their truth. Perceptions are determined by what we value, experience, need or lack. They are determined by whether we are informed or misinformed. Shift is what is needed to change our perspective. And this is what SHIFT Film Festival is about. Be free, be different, do not be afraid, be in charge of your own life and make shifts to the world!

The central theme of SHIFT Film Festival 2019 is Shifting Boundaries.
