Congratulations! 8 OFFICIAL WINNERS, NOVEMBER 2024 Edition 👏 : https://ckfiff.co.uk/2024/12/12/november-2024-winners/

CKF International Film Festival (CKFIFF) is an IMDb listed UK film festival, designed for the indie filmmakers who would like to present their creative work with an understanding that it is submitted to a jury comprising of producers, filmmakers, independent scriptwriters besides including alumni of Met Films Institute, London. As CKFIFF is organised to promote and collaborate with new and established filmmakers from various genres, we’ve kept the entry fee reasonable.

CKFIFF is currently headquartered in the United Kingdom although our International judging panel and support partners are scattered around the globe. The festival submissions run every month. All monthly selections are notified at the end of the respective month or beginning of next month and all monthly winners are notified on every 12th of next month. Once a year, we organise the Annual CKFIFF Festival Event where we will screen the best of the final selected (refer Rule no.3) submissions from every month (except the Feature Film Category; their trailers, special excerpts will be screened throughout during the Event) in a theatrical projector based presentation.

In wake of current global circumstances, the final annual selectees are also given an opportunity to compete for the annual trophy by showcasing their projects on Festival's YouTube platform for global audience visibility and recognition by invitation.

You are welcome to submit your current project(s) in multiple categories classified as Films based on duration (qualifies to compete for film and crew awards), Actors (qualifies to compete for cast/performer awards) and Screenplay/Script (qualifies to compete for screenplay/script awards).

Happy Submissions !

This short documentary revolves around a young 14-year-old boy Meschack who lives in Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Meschack is from a financially challenging family who could not afford to provide him basic necessities of life. He makes charcoal stoves to fulfill his basic needs against his family’s will. He started making charcoal stoves at the tender age of 8 years old when many children could not even think of a term like "basic human needs".

He learned the craft of making charcoal stoves from his community barber Papa Cele. He teaches Meschack how to make charcoal stoves called "Lituka" (Lee - Too - Kah) in Lingala. Meschack used to observe him and developed an interest in making stoves. Meschack is not ashamed of making stoves because it fulfills his survival requirements. He aspires to basic things like going to school and playing with other kids. He has plans of becoming a mechanic in the future. This short film throws light on many subjects in a subtle manner. Right to education for children, providing equal opportunities based upon skills, promoting skill development/entrepreneurship and appreciating life. Lituka showcase the harsh side and inequality of the world we live in.  On one side, some kids have everything in life they aspire for, on the other hand, some kids are fighting for day-to-day necessities. These kids learn from life and their motivation is derived from their basic needs.They are the ones who learn out of necessity, because... READ MORE...
