If it can be written, or thought, it can be filmed.- Stanley Kubrick

Values

We are aware that films play an integral part of the British culture. It largely reflects the British lifestyle. Films, meant to tell stories of a particular society from different parts of the world reflect a key place relevant to the history of the society. We understand the difficulties a filmmaker faces after so our main objective is to allow budding producers, directors, writers, and everyone in between to showcase their best work. A film festival made for artists by artists we try to celebrate the best of films that is being made all around the world.

  1. The film submitted to TGBSA for a particular month can be re-submitted at any time for a second chance, considering that we have different jury panels for each season.
