The Festival’s aim is to encourage, through cinematographic art and expression, a reflection on relevant issues for women related to their specific cultural, political and social context. The Festival is a place for intercultural dialogue and dialectical comparison between different cinematographies as well as an opportunity to promote distribution of films that are unlikely to have access to commercial venues.
Bienvenue à la 4ème édition du Festival du Film de Meraki. Pour cette édition, nous serons à la fois à Berlin (Allemagne) et à Madrid (Espagne) ! Deux villes, doublez la chance d'être sélectionné ou même d'être sélectionné deux fois !
Notre festival s'inspire de la signification du mot « Meraki « et de sa relation avec le processus de création de films et de scénarios.
Le terme « Meraki « est réservé aux projets qui sont un travail d'amour qui ont été supportés par une dévotion absolue au cours du processus de création. Si vous avez mis votre cœur et votre âme dans la création d'un film ou d'un scénario, c'est le Festival pour vous de célébrer votre succès et votre travail acharné.
C'est un événement parfait pour montrer votre travail à un public passionné de cinéma et « connaisseur ». La philosophie de notre festival est de promouvoir de nouvelles opportunités pour les gens de profiter du cinéma où le cinéma est créé. Pour montrer des films qui divertissent et éclairent le public, qui transmettent la passion que leurs créateurs ont mise dans leur travail à travers un grand écran.
Le festival international du film LGBT+ AMOR est le premier festival international de cinéma de Santiago du Chili axé sur le thème de la diversité sexuelle et de genre, de nature indépendante et compétitive. La septième édition du festival AMOR aura lieu du 27 juin au 2 juillet 2023, dans un format hybride, avec des projections numériques et physiques et des activités spécifiquement sur le territoire national.
Comme à chaque édition, le festival est proposé comme un espace inclusif où le programme invite différents secteurs de la société à aborder le cinéma en mettant l'accent sur les thèmes LGBT+ (lesbiennes, gays, bisexuels, transsexuels et toutes les diversités sexuelles, identitaires et de genre) ; un espace sûr pour la communauté dans lequel ils peuvent participer, rendre visible, identifier et partager. Le festival AMOR s'est positionné comme un événement de haute qualité artistique qui cherche à présenter les titres nationaux et étrangers les plus intéressants et les plus uniques qui mettent en valeur la diversité, ainsi que des films exceptionnels primés dans des festivals de renommée mondiale ; et en tant qu'espace où la programmation est structurée en fonction de l'égalité des sexes dans les compétitions et les activités, en donnant de la visibilité aux femmes cinéastes.
L'amour est totalement transversal à toute sexualité. Avec le festival AMOR, nous espérons contribuer à l'inclusion de la diversité sexuelle, renforcer la compréhension et célébrer la visibilité des sexualités à travers le septième art.

THE FILM FESTIVAL COMPETITION WITH NO 2 YEAR PROJECT LIMITATION RESTRICTION AND SOMETHING EXTRA SPECIAL!
WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THAT SELECT WINNERS FROM THIS YEAR'S 2019 - 2020 COMPETITION WILL RECEIVE A PERCENTAGE OF ALL SUBMISSION FEES IN THE FORM OF A GRANT TO FUND THEIR NEXT FILM AND PREMIERE THAT PROJECT AT THE LIVE VAiFF SEASON 4 EVENT IN 2020!
Interested? Here's how it works...
The Various Artists independent Film Festival (VAiFF) is pleased to announce the 3rd year of our 21st century festival on the heels of our yearly festival, awards ceremony, workshops and wrap party!
This unique festival was created to provide artists with the opportunity to showcase their creativity and engage in healthy competition with their talented peers. And with the removal of the 2 year project completion stipulation on submissions - we strongly believe that a filmmaker’s passion should not be limited by an expiration date - VAiFF is perfect for filmmakers looking for that ‘big break’ and looking to take ‘one more shot’.
Highlights:
VAiFF screens all content submissions in their entirety. Once the semi-finalists (per submission quarter) have been selected, ONLY YOUR PROJECT'S TRAILER or SIZZLE REEL or (:15)s of your music video will be online for viewers to vote on. There is a 30 day voting period where members of your social media community, friends, and family will view and vote for your project.
The projects in each category with the most/positive amounts of votes will move on to the FINALE competition.
After the FALL quarter, the process continues with the WINTER, SPRING and SUMMER quarters. The nominees from these quarters will compete in the FINALE COMPETITION.
In October of 2020, all the semi-finalists’ films will be screened at the Various Artists independent Film Festival Competition and Awards Ceremony, which will again be held in Chicago, IL.
Filmmakers, industry leaders, and film lovers will enjoy a weekend full of films, networking, Q&A sessions, seminars and a fun-filled wrap party to make this an event people will not want to miss.
Producers securing quarterly nominations will receive prizes, and at the LIVE event, the top 9 winning films will be presented with a VAiFF PERSONALIZED CRYSTAL AWARD along with other perks.
The festival is free of charge and intended for all children from primary and secondary schools who devote their free time to educating themselves in the arts of films or are involved in film clubs.
At the festival you can:

LIFE AFTER OIL International Film Festival est un festival de films sur l'environnement et les droits de l'homme
Alors que nous nous préparons à l'ère post-pétrolière ?
Ce festival commence par l'intention de dépasser la simple exposition. Bien qu'il soit important de sensibiliser le public aux risques liés à l'exploitation et à l'utilisation des ressources naturelles dans la production de combustibles fossiles, le problème énorme et dramatique des catastrophes causées par le manque d'énergie, en particulier en ce qui concerne l'approvisionnement en eau, pertinents pour la population mondiale. L'objectif principal du festival sera donc non seulement de mettre l'accent sur les problèmes liés à l'utilisation des combustibles fossiles, mais surtout d'identifier les alternatives qui tiennent compte, selon les connaissances scientifiques actuelles, des différentes méthodes de production bien connues.
Attention to all film talents: From 21 November 2017 until 31 January 2018, filmmakers will have the chance to apply for the LET’S CEE Short Film Competition 2018. Not only are two main prizes waiting to be won, moreover, ten finalists will receive an invitation to participate in the second edition of the LET’S CEE Talent Academy in Vienna!
Between 21 November 2017 and 31 January 2018, filmmakers up to the age of 35 from Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus region, Turkey and Austria will have the possibility to submit their short films to the Short Film Competition of the LET’S CEE Film Festival 2018.
However, filmmakers of all ages and from all over the world are welcome as well to send in thematically fitting contributions. Due to the festival’s geographical focus on CEE though, these short films will not be included in the main Short Film Competition, but will very well have the chance to win the Audience Award in the Short Film category and be screened at the festival in the section Short Films | Out of Competition. We furthermore cordially encourage international makers of virtual reality films, 3D productions and avant-garde pieces to apply as we will be offering these genres a stage at our festival as well.
The theme of the Short Film Competition 2018 is TOGETHER OR APART.
Great Britain voted for the Brexit last year and in doing so decided against a EU membership; most recently thousands of Catalan people went to the streets demanding independence from Spain; under the presidency of Donald Trump, the USA is seeking to withdraw from the Paris climate protection agreement and renegotiate various other commercial treaties – these are only three of many examples demonstrating the recent shift of the political mood in numerous countries. A growing migratory pressure, an increasing gap between the rich and poor, as well as justified and unsubstantiated fears – of the consequences of digitalisation, of the loss of jobs and stability and of social change – have discredited globalisation and encouraged a comeback of nationalist and isolationist tendencies, which seemed utterly unfathomable only a few years ago. Even on a national scale, societal cohesion appears to be threatened more and more. How does the growing division of society influence both the community and individuals? Will political agitation, hatred, egotism and greed for profit become the new normal? Well, the situation is critical, but not hopeless, neither on an international nor a national level. There are still representatives of the civil society who make no effort to surrender to the threatening eroding solidarity. Fortunately, there are numerous instances proving how people still advocate for the poor and disadvantaged with great optimism, dedication and empathy – people who rather pay attention to what we have in common instead of what keeps us apart.
The competition’s theme, TOGETHER OR APART, may be manifested in the submitted material in various manners and methods. Interpersonal aspects, such as family and relationship dramas, trials and tribulations, moments of success and happiness or the joint overcoming of challenges can be taken into account just as well as social, political, juridical and/or cultural matters. In other words: everything is possible, as long as it touches on the topic and is done well!
An advisory board chaired by the renowned Austrian-Iranian filmmakers Arash T. Riahi and Arman T. Riahi will choose the best contributions from the submissions for the LET’S CEE Short Film Competition. The short films, which will be screened out of competition, will be selected by the Bosnian-Dutch producer Denis Mujović and festival director Magdalena Żelasko.
After the presentation of the participating productions at the festival, an international jury will decide on the winner of the competing short films and, thus, who will be awarded the main prize – 1,500 Euro and a Urania statuette – at the Awards Ceremony in the Urania Cinema on 20 April 2018. The remaining short films presented during the festival will have, without exception, the chance to win the 1,500 Euro Audience Award in the category Short Film.
All filmmakers who will take part in the main Short Film Competition will additionally profit from their participation. At the expense of the festival, one of the involved filmmakers of each short film will be invited as an official guest*) to Vienna in order to present their work. Those persons will, furthermore, have the opportunity to join the second edition of the LET’S CEE Talent Academy.
15 remaining free seats for the Talent Academy will be filled by Out-of-Competition filmmakers. The most important items on the one-week Academy agenda include the attendance of LET’S CEE Master Classes and LET’S CEE Industry Days, the collaborative finalisation of a short film about Vienna, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pitch a film idea to Raindance film festival director Elliot Grove (and win big!) at the Pitching Competition. Of course, all invited filmmakers will enjoy several Get-togethers, where they can get in touch with successful distributors, directors, producers, actors etc., exchange experiences and new ideas and thus strive to new projects and international collaborations. In order to enable as many filmmakers as possible to visit LET’S CEE and present their work to the festival audience, all participants of the section ‘Short Films | Out of Competition’ will receive free festival accreditations and discounts for the official hotel partner on request.
