The Festival de Cine Independiente de Sogamoso – FECISO seeks to position itself as the space that brings together the visions, concerns and interests of both local and national and international filmmakers. It is as well, a bridge between productions and local viewers seeking to immerse themselves in the world of the short-film. A diverse, eclectic world; full of bold and bold proposals that are the reflection of both the guardians of the image and the sound they make and the place where their desires find representation, that allow us to travel from the smallest corner of the department of Boyacá to farthest city from the world, from the help from its people, its worldview, its dreams, its fears, its visions, but above all its cinema.

HISTORY
Animation Nights New York was founded by Yvonne Grzenkowicz.

The program was curated by Yvonne Grzenkowicz (Animation Nights New York) and Robert Lyons (ASIFA East). We had about 45 attendees. We soon outgrew the space! (Thank you, Little Water Radio and Fulton Stall Market!)
Jan-April 2016 we were in residency with the Third Annual Out to See Festival at 192 Front St (Jan-Apr) in the South Street Seaport. We were the premiere event for this winter festival hosted by Little Water Radio and sponsored by the Howard Hughes Corporation. Animation Nights New York continued to grow.
In May 2016, Animation Nights New York relocated to the beautiful 180 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038 with support from Anderson Contemporary, MHP, Clarion Partners, and Maiden Lane Hospitality. We could finally accommodate our growing regular attendance!

We’ve had tremendous support from ASIFA, NYC ACM SIGGRAPH, NYWIFT, Women in Animation, and the animation community at large. Animation Nights New York programs have included work by award winning animators such as Bill Plympton, George Griffin, Joanna Quinn, John Dilworth, Signe Baumane, Michael Sullivan, Dustin Grella, AthanassiosVakalis and Tiny Inventions among others.
