In the Spotlight this week is ONECLOUDFEST, a daring and unique new film festival taking place entirely on Facebook. The Festival seeks to connect independent artists and filmmakers with viewers everywhere by tapping into the most popular social network in the world in an effort to bring deserving works to light.

ONECLOUDFEST utilizes a unique competitive structure which complements the Festival’s exhibition platform. The first phase of the competition, the Semi-Finals, is broken into three parts: Spring (March-May), Summer (June-August), and Fall, (September-November). Each round will culminate in the selection of an Audience Award winner in each category selected by the number of Facebook “likes” received. These winners go on to compete against one another in the second phase of the competition, the Winter Finals (December-February), vying for the top honor.
