Creative Chakra Film Festival Official Selecton 2026
Cinema • Consciousness • Transformation ~ Experience ~ Community ~ Culture
A curated cultural event. A festival for conscious storytelling and meaningful films in all genres. A transformational Film Experience in the Encino Hills of Los Angeles and incorporates international filmmakers with a online voting element of the festival.
It is a platform for powerful storytelling that uplifts culture, elevates health, and inspires human potential — across every genre of entertainment.
In a time when the world feels divided, anxious, and overwhelmed, we believe stories matter more than ever.
We champion films that:
Empower positive lifestyles
Explore physical, emotional, and spiritual health
Bridge science and consciousness
Inspire courage, innovation, and compassion. Entertain while awakening
From comedy (because laughter heals) to documentary, horror, narrative features, music films, and experimental works — we celebrate entertainment that expands awareness. This is cinema with purpose.
A Proven Legacy of Breakthrough Moments
Creative Chakra has long been a gathering place for visionary thinkers, filmmakers, and holistic leaders.
The groundbreaking film The Secret was first screened in the United States at Creative Chakra — followed by an intimate Q&A with the filmmakers. Before it became a global phenomenon, the idea of manifestation and quantum consciousness was shared here.
We recognize transformative ideas early — and give them a platform. www.creativechakrafilmfestival.com
