Los Angeles, CA - The 2017 Universe Multicultural Film Festival (UMFF) will take place from March 31 to April 2 at the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula (south bay area of Los Angeles). On behalf of the UMFF committee, we cordially invite you to submit your films or screenplays to the 2017 Universe Multicultural Film Festival. The 2017 UMFF official selection (both films and screenplays) will have complementary display area at the film market booth.

The event, organized by Maeya Culture Exchange Group LLC, will present a wide variety of films, including original shorts, features, documentaries and animations created by those selected filmmakers from all over the world. This festival will offer an amazing opportunity to all visitors to find out and learn in an outstanding way about different cultures, lifestyles, traditions and beliefs. For this purpose, all the screened films will be either voiced in English or contain subtitles. Thus, there won’t be language barrier for the audience. Also, there will be actors and actresses performing the finalist’s screenplay at the site.

Beside the film screenings and screenplay showcases, the UMFF will have its own film market, industry panels and cultural events. Also, the committee will host high-quality events for the participants and collaborators, including film receptions, galas, red carpet award ceremony, and specific seminars with directors and filmmakers looking for new potential projects.
