IMPACTFUL FILMS
​TO WAKE UP A GENERATION

Born from the desire to create a distinct, sophisticated hybrid festival experience among an ocean of ordinary alternatives, it has quickly garnered attention. With a globally distributed team of dedicated and passionate individuals, the festival has made a mark with its commitment to showcasing the unique narratives of independent cinema.

​In line with its tagline, the primary criterion for MAGMA’s awards is the impact of the film. The jury looks for films that can cause a stir, that can wake up audiences and cause them to reflect on, and perhaps even challenge, their perspectives. This focus on impact is multi-dimensional, encompassing both the immediate emotional response a film may evoke and the potential long-term effects on its audience's worldview. The festival thus values films that possess the power to erupt a metaphorical volcano of reactions and thoughts, ultimately aiming to awaken a generation to new concepts and ideas.​
