The success of our Submit Your Film Initiative continued this year in the same pace, as we received, once more, more than 100 submissions, with a number of filmmakers also submitting their trailers and even their whole movies to feature on our YouTube Channel. Our continuing cooperation with Vienna Shorts also bared fruit , with two of our submissions, “Fallen Fruit” and “Sexy Sushi” getting picked to screen on the festival
In that regard, we would like to thank all the filmmakers who submitted their work and we hope that they continue to do so for many years to come.
At the same time, we also felt the need to celebrate this initiative by listing the movies we considered the best. Without further ado, here are the best #SubmitYourFilm Movies of 2021, in random order.

Santosh Ram focuses on the concept by presenting another side of it, that of the consequences on the workers’ kids, who have to follow their parents around.
