    About Us

    OUR MISSION

     We are a non-profit film festival for filmmakers and storytellers from all over the world to highlight human-water relationship issues and concerns that inspire an action step for the viewer beyond its entertainment and informative value.

    OUR GOAL

     In creating this platform our goal is to leverage the power in the medium & art form of film to enhance relationships between filmmakers, organizations, and the entire human population to build advocacy and activism in water-related matters.


    We invite all filmmakers to submit films related to the 2022 UN World Water Day topic, Groundwater - Making the Invisible Visible, but all water-related topics are welcome for exploration.
