Phoenix  Rising International Film Festival is a festival founded by Victor De Almeida and Ewa Habdas. The festival was created by filmmakers, for filmmakers out of the love of filmmaking. 

 

Our goal is to create a global community for independent filmmakers to showcase their films and further develop partnerships within the industry.  

​

Once a year, we aim to put together a three-day film extravaganza with an awards ceremony at the end to celebrate that year's best films.
