About the festival

Founded in 2016, TRAEL FilmFest International Film Festival is a non-profit and non-government organization. Our mission is to promote all types of travel, identify and support independent filmmakers, shooting films that deserve the attention of all travel lovers around the world. By bringing together travel filmmakers from all parts of the world, we want that they could obtain feedback from professional travellers and the film community, as well as from the broad segments of the ones who love to travel.
The Travel FilmFest International Film Festival collects the best travel/lifestyle films from around the world, which were created both by professionals and by enthusiasts, and helps to get them across to the audience.
We admit only the films about travels, both modern and historical ones. As well as those films, where travel is an important part of the synopsis. Fiction, production, animated and documentary films on any types of travel, outdoor, extreme sports and adventures on the water and in the air, on land and under it, in the mountains and forests, on seas, rivers, lakes, swamps, about hiking, ski trek, rides on public transport, on vehicles and motorcycles, bikes, hitch-hiking, bus tours, pilgrimage tours, round-the-world trips... as well as films about cultures, traditions, lifestyle, history, countries, emigrants, wildlife & nature, world around us.
Not all creators of travel films are necessarily the professionals, who work in the movies industry or on television. This is just a hobby for the majority of contestants. However, this does not mean that their films are worse. The original story that is told in the film plays a far more important role than its budget or the awards of its creator. You can make a good film even if you do not have a large budget, stellar cast and a large production team. You hold the keys to the kingdom. Go ahead!
All officially selected films will be shown during the solemn final Award ceremony on October 21 - 24, 2021 and will be able to struggle for the main prize and the title of the "Best travel film". As well as for the prizes in the standalone nominations.
