Every year on the second Saturday of February, movie lovers around the world come together to celebrate Global Movie Day—a day dedicated to the art of storytelling through film. Established by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) in 2020, this special day recognizes the cultural and emotional impact that movies have on our lives.

History of Global Movie Day

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), best known for organizing the Academy Awards (Oscars), created Global Movie Day in 2020 to celebrate the universal power of cinema. It was launched as part of the Academy’s efforts to engage global audiences and highlight the importance of movies in shaping culture, emotions, and social discussions.

The first Global Movie Day was observed on February 8, 2020, a day before the 92nd Academy Awards, to honor how films connect people across languages and cultures. Since then, it has been celebrated annually on the second Saturday of February, encouraging movie fans to share their favorite films and experiences on social media using the hashtag #GlobalMovieDay.

Movies transcend boundaries, languages, and cultures, bringing people together through powerful narratives, unforgettable performances, and breathtaking cinematography.
