We also welcome established Arthouse filmmakers, who already attained a major contribution to the art of filmmaking. The Festival seeks to inspire independent film artists from the United States and around the world, and to introduce audiences to their new work. The Festival is an organization dedicated to the discovery and development of independent artists and audiences. We would like to see films made primarily for aesthetic and philosophical reasons rather than commercial profit. We welcome serious films aimed at a specific audience rather than a mass-market consumer. We believe that a story driven by a genuine expression can stimulate new thoughts that have the power to promote the fundamental principles of humanism, expand creative frontiers, stimulate new levels of compassion, and even lead to social change. The Festival pursues goals to introduce more people to the arthouse film. The Festival was named after the Michelangelo Antonioni's iconic film "Blow-Up". The BLOW-UP ARTHOUSE FILM FESTIVAL links the most creative artists together with very intelligent audiences for its annual festival of narrative and documentary films, shorts, animations, experimental films, and student work.
