The Formula Mundi Filmfest is a nonprofit and theme-based film festival, strongly connected to academic structures. Over the years the festival took place in different countries and with different cooperation partners.

Every time the festival is organized, its purpose and objectives have to be redefined. These changes and flexibility make Formula Mundi, compared to established and well-known festivals, very unique and up to date.

FM 2014
