More nominations for "The Dreams of Lonely People"
"The Dreams of Lonely People" directed by Marek Leszczewski, with cinematography by Max Bugajak, has been nominated in Best Film and Best Cinematography categories at the Universal Film Festival. The virtual event starts today (November 18) and will last until 21 November.
Universal Film Festival created in 2007 in Kansas City (Missouri, USA) is an international hybrid festival. Each year the event takes place in a different city and country, featuring both live and virtual interactive festival events, as well as a "Global Village Showcase" – an experience unique to each UFF host. This year's edition, however, due to the ongoing pandemic, will take place entirely online.
Universal Film Festival's mission is to increase the audience and visibility of independent filmmakers and to give them the opportunity to advance their careers by making industry contacts and promoting their films through the festival.
