The aim of ARS GRATIA ARTIS WORLD FILM FESTIVAL is to offer its audience a top showcase of exquisite feature films and short films which fit the creative concept Art for the Sake of Art (meaning original and innovative films which do not have commercial entertainment as a main goal but try to bring a serious creative contribution to the development of The Seventh Art).
ARS GRATIA ARTIS WORLD FILM FESTIVAL is a competitive event – offering trophy, diploma, and cash awards.
ALL feature films and short films submitted to the festival (not just the ones selected for a festival participation) will also be considered for possible film sale / distribution agreement proposals – within a parallel selection process (in the Festival Rules and Regulations called Market Selection), trying to identify artistic films with a high market potential.
ARS GRATIA ARTIS WORLD FILM FESTIVAL will take place on physical theatrical location(s) within the KAK area of the Västmanland region, Sweden.
Swedish Film-Maker (Producer, Writer, Director, Photographer, Editor) Gabriel Daniel Dorobantu is the President and the Artistic Director of Ars Gratia Artis World Film Festival as well as Moonlight Online International Film Festival.
He has run the Swedish creation, production and distribution company Dorobantu Film & Television since year 2005.
His Festival Statement:
“In parallel with the inclusive event Moonlight Online International Film Festival, I have taken the initiative of starting Ars Gratia Artis World Film Festival as an exclusive yearly live event on physical location, in order to expand our company’s sustained efforts of promoting original cinema of true artistic quality and supporting independent cinema. While Moonlight Online International Film Festival intends to gather films, film-makers and film lovers from all over the world within a prolific virtual environment allowing unlimited, multilateral contacts of everyone inside and outside the branch with the purpose of spreading and perpetuating artistic knowledge, Ars Gratia Artis World Film Festival aims to enhance all that by physically gathering everyone and everything representing superlative film art moments. Both festivals do not only offer awards but also try to open path for successful international distribution of art film.”
