ABOUT FESTIVAL :

Culture Unplugged Studios has now begun to organize the next film festival, ‘Spirit Enlightened’, which
aspires to trace the spirit that has led the humanity through centuries & civilizations and is in the making
of our future. The festival hopes to explore with you, ‘That’ which envelops to infuse & evolve the individual
as well as collective being, expands our vision of time as well as place, enlivens our hearts, and enlightens
our species to transcend the present state of being for the mystical new – the next state of supramental
self. Lets observe & feel this divine/enlightened spirit in the moment of its performance, in the midst of
humanity now and forever, through film-media.

With this effort, we wish to align with individual film-makers as well as independent film producers of
special projects designed for specific mission that is tuned with festival focus.

We believe independent cinema carries the authentic voice and vision that needs to be shared & delivered
to a seeking and eager community worldwide. Culture Unplugged is establishing the infrastructure
necessary for this. We wish to establish a meaningful partnership with the filmmaking community – the
harbingers of spiritual transformation, to get there.
