Besides multiple screenings of international and local films, the festival offers a variety of events for the general public. One of the festival's events is the So You Think You Can Pitch Contest where filmmaking teams pitch their movie concept or project to a panel of industry professionals to win prizes such as rental equipment, artist fees and sessions with professional editors. Pitching teams can participate in workshops held by industry leaders to improve their craft and get acquainted with the business and industry.
