Filmmaker Sessions Volume XII is part of the Lift-Off Sessions, a monthly online showcase dedicated to screening a collection of globally submitted independent short and feature films from new voices within the Lift-Off Global Network. These sessions are designed as an entry point into the network, offering screening opportunities for filmmakers and fostering engagement with contemporary work. Films that perform well in Lift-Off film festivals are often shortlisted for Season Awards, with a jury review at the end of the year.
