10/04/2024
As one of the oldest documentary film festivals in the U.S., UNAFF has gained the respect of both audiences and filmmakers for its fearless independence and integrity. Over the years, it has showcased some of the most acclaimed documentaries in the industry, including eight Academy Award winners and thirty-six nominees.
Moses will be screening on October 23rd at the Delancey Screening Room, 600 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA 94107. We’ll gather at 7:00 PM for a meet-and-greet before the screening begins at 7:50 PM.

San Francisco is the heart of this film, and we’re excited to share it with our local community.
If you’re in the Bay Area, we’d love to see you at the screening!
Ultimately, films are made for people, and we’re stoked to announce that Moses was the audience favorite at the Tokyo Lift-Off Film Festival, receiving the highest number of votes from viewers. This incredible support propelled the film into the final round, where network members and jurors weighed in. While another film claimed the Best Feature Documentary award, we are proud finalists, especially when reflecting on the thoughtful feedback from the jurors who watched and voted for Moses. Their praise, like the review shown above, reinforces the impact and resonance of the film’s message.
We’re thrilled to announce that Moses has been honored with the Green Rose Award at the 16th Jaipur International Film Festival, one of India’s premier film festivals. This prestigious accolade is awarded to the best feature documentary that delivers a powerful global message, a distinction that resonates deeply with the film’s mission.
This year’s festival received over 3,000 submissions from around the world, which makes this achievement all the more meaningful. We are incredibly grateful to the jury and the Jaipur International Film Festival for recognizing Moses among such a strong pool of global talent. This recognition underscores the film’s relevance in today’s world and the impact stories like these can have on a global stage.
Last Friday, March 8th, the film premiered at the esteemed Málaga Film Festival in Spain, specifically at Teatro Echegaray, one of the city’s most iconic and historical venues. It felt like stepping into a dream as the screening drew a sold-out crowd and such an uplifting ovation during the rolling credits. Yet, the most memorable moment was walking the red carpet holding the arm of the person that always encouraged me to pursue my dreams: mom.

Diario de Navarra, the main newspaper from this beautiful region located in the north of Spain, published this article in November as we were finishing the color grading of ‘Moses’ in collaboration with Clau, a local creative production company led by filmmaker Quim Torrents. We also hosted a private, technical screening with some crew members, family and friends in Pamplona, the capital of Navarra.
