Be Part of the Festival

The inaugural Rajarata Independent Film Festival invites filmmakers to bring their visions to the ancient city of Anuradhapura. This is your chance to share stories across cultures, connect with diverse audiences, and become part of a new chapter in Sri Lanka’s cinematic journey.

Festival Postponement

Due to the recent floods, landslides, and national hardships in Sri Lanka, we have decided to postpone Rajarata Independent Film Festival 2026 from March to December 2026 (tentative).
Film submissions will remain open, and deadlines will be extended.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected. Thank you for your understanding. 🤍
