99

Overview

🏆 Guess what? We've received an IDA Award in 2025 in the “best curated series” category! 99 is a new kind of film festival: both online and in real life. It is a free and not-for-profit video platform streaming documentaries in 12 languages + a series of live screenings in different cities where our languages are spoken. Our main event is a quarterly film screening in Lyon, France, in the neighbourhood where cinema was invented by the Lumière brothers. Our objective is to use multilingualism to help filmmakers get wider audiences and more impact. Info in your own language?

Subtitling my film into a half-dozen languages opens the door for cross-cultural impact in ways I’ve always dreamed about. Their initiative to share powerful works of art with the world is a noble calling, and I’ve watched as my film has reached new people. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have my film play on their platform.” — Matthew K. Firpo, filmmaker “99 translated my film into additional languages, ultimately helping it reach a much wider audience, and become globally relevant. Movies are made to be seen, and reaching an international audience like this is invaluable”. — Asmita Shrish, filmmaker “My short was translated into 10 languages by 99, which helped it gain a lot more exposure and massively increased its global reach. I have a lot of respect for, and trust in the team, who has always dealt with me in a professional and honest fashion and who I believe has a real passion for short film and a lot of respect for filmmakers.” — Andy Oxley, filmmaker
