Meliora
Film Fest

Celebrating movies that are making the world a better place.

Meliora in ancient Latin means to heal, to help, to make better. We believe that art, and movies in particular, have the ability to do just that. From environmental documentaries, to powerful stories of hope and inspiration, to films that are so funny they lighten up the whole room. That is what we strive to do: to celebrate films that are making the world a better place. Our international film festival is based in NYC, which is a mirror for the whole world. We bring together visionary filmmakers and incredible charitable organizations to do our part in contributing to a better tomorrow.
