Liverpool, United Kingdom


People Versus TV (PVTV) invites filmmakers, video artists, and creators of all stripes to submit their films for our upcoming Fringe Flicks event series. We are on the lookout for unconventional work and love anything that’s subversive, absurd, and surreal.

We welcome submissions that are weird, anarchic, fun, absurdist, surreal, experimental, parody, and satire that punches up. We encourage submissions from artists at any stage of their career.

Why Submit to Fringe Flicks?
Fringe Flicks is more than just a screening; it’s a celebration of avant-garde and boundary-pushing work in the moving image in all its forms. By participating, your work will be showcased alongside like-minded creators, and reach an audience eager for unique and challenging content.

Screening Details:
Selected films and videos will be showcased at our Fringe Flicks events in Liverpool, with a mix of short and longer films at each. The events are every two months. The next confirmed dates are:

2nd Aug 2024 (programme full)
18th Oct 2024 (programme full)
6th Dec 2024 (programme open)
Selected films will be shown at one of our events from December onwards.

Submissions are through FestHome.

Event Structure:
Fringe Flicks is designed to provide a platform for unconventional, experimental, and boundary-pushing films. Each event is divided into two halves with an intermission:

- First Half: This segment showcases shorter films, including micro-shorts and impactful pieces under half an hour.
- Intermission: A break where attendees can mingle, discuss the films, and enjoy refreshments and popcorn from the bar.
- Second Half: The spotlight shifts to longer films or a feature presentation, offering a deeper dive into narrative and experimental storytelling.

The bar will remain open after the screenings, providing an excellent opportunity for filmmakers and audience members to engage in discussions, network, and share their thoughts on the films.

Future Opportunities:
If we haven’t selected your work for one of our listed events, we may still be interested in showing it in the future. We will contact you first for permission if this is the case.

Quality & Experience:
Imagination and creativity are more important for shorter works than technical ability. We welcome submissions from artists at any stage in their career, whether they are newcomers or experienced filmmakers. However, longer works should be high quality, though we’re more concerned with the quality of scriptwriting, dialogue, and storytelling than technical video production quality.

How to Submit:
Platform: Submit your work via Festhome.

Important Dates:
Submission Deadline: Friday, May 31st, 2024
First Event Date: Friday, June 7th, 2024

Festival Cine Mediterráneo- Ficsem

-, Spain


FICSEM is a new Social and Ecological Film Festival, which was going to see the light of day for the first time in 2020, in the Mediterranean area.


For major reasons, and having been immersed in a situation in which we have all been affected, we have decided to adapt to the current situation, and give a new focus to our festival. Maintaining the enthusiasm and passion we feel for the artistic world.


Our festival is aimed at the dissemination and promotion of film authors related to topics of social and/or ecological value.


Because we believe in the power of art as a transformative medium, our contribution from this festival is to give visibility to projects that address environmental and social changes in which we are immersed. We are an international festival because we understand the world beyond barriers, and because we are moved by the need to get to know other cultures and share the best of ours, as it contributes to any improvement in any corner of the world.


The Mediterranean is the climate that surrounds us, and we feel identified with it. In terms of warmth, closeness and transparency. We are a festival that is starting strong, with a large number of committed artists who share our cause, and the desire to share.

And that is why we are not afraid to break the most classic festival patterns. So much so, that in the award for best actor and/or actress, the recognition of the award falls on their social and/or ecological work... And not only on their skills.

Despite having firm ideological foundations. We open ourselves to other artistic areas and initiatives.

Film submissions are limited to 15-30 minutes in length. Songs submitted music to be submitted as an MP3 file, and if video, an MP4.

Films Inspiring Hope: The focus of the film should have a storyline in which the characters face a challenge, and find their way to become hopeful and overcome the incident. Character development is especially desirable in this film, and in some manner, the central charter offers the viewer inspiration.

Films of Encouragement: The underlying message of the film is meant to offer encouragement, uplift the viewer, and leave them feeling an increased sense of motivation.

Films Focused on Global Healing: There is a great disparity between countries and the availability of resources to address issues of health and wellness. Films in this category may provide insight to identify problematic areas, and remedies to address these concerns, and to support universal acceptance and love.

Women's Issues: Women are not only a resource of nurturance, but accomplish remarkable achievements either individually, as a part of a family, or within their community. Maintaining life-Balance is frequently a struggle because of the multiplicity of demands placed on women. Social position and status can look different within the context of various cultures. Films in this category are meant to explore female empowerment and bring insight and increased understanding of the roles women place within their culture.

Men’s Issues: The role of men in cultures throughout the world has been undergoing changes. This can lead to confusion and feelings of insecurity. Modern men may stay at home and care for the children, or they may continue to function in traditional roles. Film submissions about men’s issues are encouraged to address the ways in which men come to understand their emotions, become comfortable with the expression of emotion, and how they connect in significant relationships.

Spirituality: Religious practice is not necessarily the same as spiritual practice; however, both or either can play an important role in our health and well-being. Films that focus on spiritual development, our relationship to ourselves and others within this realm, and how we contribute to the world through spiritual practice would be of interest in this film category.

Social Issues, Resilience & Sustainability: In every culture, there are issues of social injustice, conflict, and social differences, which can affect human or animal existence and the ability to maintain resilience. It is frequently not enough to be resilient because multiple losses can occur, we must instead focus on our ability to sustain resilience. Films that speak to how we might address social concerns that involve the depletion of social, emotional, environmental, or financial resources are welcome in this category.

Best Instrumental Score: Music scores may be from any genre, and the music should evoke visual imagery, and heightened imagination.

We are dedicated to discovering and supporting the next generation of filmmakers. There’s a reason MovieMaker magazine has named Mammoth Lakes Film Festival as one of the “Top 50 Film Festival’s Worth Your Entry Fee” for the last nine years in a row: We put our filmmakers first!

We focus on bringing top-level press and industry professionals to the festival to get maximum exposure for our filmmakers. Past attendees included Variety, Hollywood Reporter, The LA Times, A24, Greenwich Entertainment, MovieMaker Magazine, and more.

The 11th annual Mammoth Lakes Film Festival will screen features and shorts for five days in the spectacular setting of Mammoth Lakes—California’s premier mountain resort, high in the Eastern Sierra. It will take place on Wednesday through Sunday, May. 21-25, 2025.

MLFF captures the imagination of audiences and contributes to the vitality of film culture by providing emerging filmmakers with an opportunity to show their latest work in a vibrant and nurturing atmosphere. Visitors are drawn to the area to experience exciting new films by both new and established independent artists, and for the opportunity to mingle with them at fun and friendly daily events. The festival is also a forum for filmmakers to have their work seen by industry professionals who have the potential to provide mentorship and propel their careers.

We are committed to promoting film as an art form by focusing on personal, innovative, imaginative films by writers and directors with a unique style and point of view. We present these films in the beautiful natural setting of Mammoth Lakes—a perfect backdrop for an independent film festival and a premier tourist destination in its own right. Because we are a destination resort, just a 4 to 5-hour drive or a quick flight from Los Angeles, we have strong allies within the entertainment industry. Our jury members are acclaimed artists and professionals from the world of independent film. We give out multiple awards in the categories of Narrative Features, Documentary Features, and Short Films. In 2024 we awarded cash and prizes valued at more than $40,000.00. We also provide travel stipends, housing, and festival passes for our filmmakers. Our juries have included Andrew Lazar (Producer of AMERICAN SNIPER), Allison Amon (Producer of THE QUEEN OF VERSAILLES), Rachel Winter (Academy Award winning producer DALLAS BUYERS CLUB),and John Feidler (Producer of SERIAL MOM and PECKER). 2024 sponsors included Panavision, Light Iron, Town of Mammoth Lakes, among many others.
