The Alma Film Festival is a festival built in response to structural gaps in the global film ecosystem. It is a next-generation festival—research-centered, audience-focused, and tech-driven—grounded in scholarship, inquiry, and cultural analysis. Through this approach, we have cultivated a global community of stakeholders spanning more than 50 cities across 34 countries.

By design, Alma features fewer films and deeper engagement, prioritizing meaningful audience–filmmaker relationships over volume, visibility, or transactional exposure.

At its core, the festival is a global gathering created to nurture both ideas and people. It embraces a kaleidoscope of cultures and intentionally shifts the social dynamic from competition to connection. Alma creates space for collaboration, understanding, and shared growth—moving us from extraction to exchange, from visibility to value, and from presence to purpose.

We are doing something new.

This kind of dialogue is exactly the type of conversation we aim to cultivate through the Alma Film Festival, and we’re excited to have Shate L. Hayes and her company as one of our key stakeholders in this growing global ecosystem.

“In everything we do, we aim to spark conversations that cultivate meaningful connections and strengthen our sense of community. From this shared foundation, we hope to inspire greater collaboration, leading to cultural diplomacy and collective growth.”
