Lily Indie Film Fest
«Lily Indie Film Fest» is Ukrainian monthly online award.
The process of making an independent film is like trying to grow a flower through concrete. Hard, painful and nobody wants you! But if you succeed, you will be admired and your film admired like a flower.
The idea of the award is to support independent filmmakers. Show them that anything is possible if you have the will, the ability to work and a little bit of talent.
Our team believes that anyone who makes independent films is a hero, and heroes need awards! We want our festival to be such a reward.
Long live the flower that grew from the concrete when no one else ever cared!
