Share your spirit, your vision, your experience, your knowledge of us all – through your art of cinema.
Reach audiences across borders with your voice, your consciousness.

ABOUT FESTIVAL :

Culture Unplugged Studios is organizing ‘Humanity Explored’, the film festival where we gather and explore Our voice – as citizens of different locales of this earth, sharing the same cosmic resources that sustains life in us, dreaming the same future, experiencing same fundamental emotions, living similar life stories, yet intensely feeling separation among us. Can we feel ‘interconnectedness’ or ‘oneness’ by sharing what fundamental emotions, needs and dreams unites us, and question/contemplate the divisive perception of ‘otherness’? Lets celebrate our collective spiritual evolution by contemplating the contemporary cultures & societies, through cinema.
