Background:
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or the Global Goals for Sustainable Development, are a collection of 17 global goals set by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015. The Global Goals are broad and interdependent, yet each has a separate list of targets to achieve. Achieving all 169 targets would signal accomplishing all 17 goals. The Goals cover ecological, social and economic development issues including poverty, hunger, health, education, global warming, gender equality, water, sanitation, energy, urbanization, environment and social justice. The background and explanation are available in the Resolution Adopted by The General Assembly available at: https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/post2015/transformingourworld
Localizing Global Goals: Story Begins at Home
The Global Goals provide an indicative agenda for sustainable development that is required to stimulate a series of collective actions to address areas of critical importance for humanity and the habitat. The Global Goals are a large, holistic and long-term set of goals, difficult to distil into simple and compelling messages.
While these Goals are global, their achievement will critically depend on our interest, intention, ability and resources to turn the global social contract based on pressing development commitments into a tangible reality in our homes, communities, neighborhoods, cities, regions, countries and so on. Consequentially, our immediate localities are the primary sites of the compliance of our commitments towards a universal development agenda. Therefore, the story of global goals begins at home and connects to the extended contours of universality. It becomes everyone’s business, leaving no one behind.
Locating Creative Communications: Awareness, Relatability and Reach
APFF believes that contextualization of meta-data is as much important for effective communication as much as localization of global goals are important for any meaningful delivery of development dividends. Policy makers have argued that, “we will only deliver on the SDGs if people know about the goals, demand action, and hold their leaders to their promises.”
From the communication perspective, delivery of development outcomes would largely be determined by the level of awareness, relatability, reach and influence towards global goals. Therefore, creative communications should be aimed at increasing awareness, explaining relatability, enhancing outreach and influencing investments towards Global Goals at immediate locality and beyond. Global Goals are a universal agenda, requiring progress at home and abroad. Experts have suggested that, “our communication should lead to developing political will, involving people to act for themselves locally, and aiming for the goals to become a universal reference guide.”
APFF is seeking to engage creative community of Asian region including passionate storytellers, filmmakers, writers, directors, actors, artists, musicians, singers, social media champions, multi-media creators to develop a communication mix on Global Goals.
Why a Film Festival on Global Goals?
Experience has shown that “the exposure one can get through film and digital content, whether it’s at a film festival, a local cinema screening, through online distribution or educational channels, is magnified compared to many traditional ways we try to impact change.” Festival exposure and awards often bring press attention, which is considered the best amplifier of messages.
A number of studies suggest that “to inspire change, people need to ‘feel’ your story.” Data, research, statistics and trend indicators are important. Data supports and drives decisions every day in what we do. But as they say data alone typically doesn’t reach the part of our brains which can reach complex issues, intuit connections, engage lateral thinking, or move one to action: the emotional brain. ‘Story’ speaks to our emotional brain. Experts suggest: “We have to change the way we communicate. All action is emotional, and in order to get an emotional connection we need to understand what it is.”
APFF considers filmmaking and cinematography as an effective medium of communication to understand, inform, inspire and generate an individual and collective will to act for behavioral and perceptual transformations. Through a thematic cinema, a diverse and larger audiences can be engaged on issues related to SDGs making a complex message simpler, communicative and inspirational. With the extended outreach of digital content, filmmaking has become an effective tool of communication which can be used to strengthen rights-based social movements and development discourses infusing a culture of transformation in societies plagued with hierarchical structures, policies and instruments.
Against this backdrop, APFF dedicates its Third Edition to the Global Goals encouraging film makers to tell stories of their own soil – narrate local stories to the global audiences and bridge the communication gap. Tell others what story you feel for. Lens your own story! You have a space to inspire, now.
APFF is aimed to celebrate 3rd Edition by encouraging production and organizing public screening of the selected Asian short films, documentaries, animations and music videos narrating the stories of struggle and transformations on any of the seventeen Global Goals. However, a particular focus would be laid on subthemes related to: ecological, social and economic development issues including poverty, hunger, health, education, global warming, gender equality, water, sanitation, energy, urbanization, environment and social justice.

These short films explore global goals like clean energy, access to education, and environmental sustainability through a variety of storytelling techniques, including comedy, animation, and documentary interviews. One submission even borrowed from the horror movie genre.

Prishtina International Film Festival (Prifest) si svolge nella capitale del nuovo paese in Europa, il Kosovo, nei Balcani ogni anno nel mese di luglio.
Prima di leggere di più vedere di persona video dei punti salienti dell'edizione dello scorso anno copiando il link YouTube qui sotto nel browser:

PriFest è il più grande e importante evento cinematografico in Kosovo. E 'emerso come una necessità di riportare e costruire la cultura cinematografica persa durante molti anni di repressione e guerra. Prifest è un'opportunità per i giovani registi del Kosovo, che, a causa del regime dei visti, hanno grandi limiti a viaggiare liberamente in Europa e altrove, per incontrare registi ed esperti della regione e dell'Europa che visitano il festival e aumentano le loro possibilità di mettere in rete e coprodurre i loro film.
PriFest programma cinematografico offrire al pubblico ogni anno nuovi film provenienti da Europa, Balcani e il mondo, con programmi speciali in aggiunta che promuovono i diritti umani, la tolleranza e l'accettazione per i gruppi emarginati della società. È l'unico festival dei Balcani ad avere un programma speciale di film con il tema LGBTQ, realizzato in collaborazione con Outfest di Los Angeles e Queer and Migration Film Festival di Amsterdam. Oltre ai film, il festival ha un'ottima piattaforma di sviluppo dell'industria cinematografica regionale (PriForum) che offre corsi di formazione, conferenze, masterclass ispiratori di ospiti illustri e altre opportunità per i registi del Kosovo e dei paesi vicini di cui beneficiare. Si tratta di un grande evento di networking per registi del Kosovo, della regione e dell'Europa.
Prishtina Rendezvous porta distributori e società di vendita che incontrano ed esplorano progetti cinematografici della regione balcanica, mentre Prishtina Kino Kabaret è dedicata a registi provenienti da tutto il mondo per venire a fare spontaneamente cortometraggi a Prishtina durante il festival.
Produttori, registi, esperti dell'industria cinematografica, registi e agenti di casting, registi e attori hanno l'opportunità di incontrarsi in un ambiente e una rete totalmente non convenzionale, amichevole durante i giorni del festival e del forum.
L'atmosfera rilassata e il facile accesso agli ospiti lo rendono un luogo unico per le persone che vogliono espandere la loro rete e mostrare i loro film ad alcuni importanti attori dell'industria cinematografica provenienti dall'Europa e dalla regione.
Ad oggi PriFest è stato visitato da Paul Haggis (sceneggiatore e regista canadese), Vanessa Redgrave (attrice britannica) che è anche presidente del nostro Consiglio d'onore, Stephen Frears (regista britannico), Joshua Marston (regista americano), Franco Nero (attore italiano), Eva Orner (produttore australiano), Gideon Burkhard (attore tedesco), Samuel Maoz (regista di Izraeli), Danis Tanovic (regista bosniaco), Velibor Topic (attore bosniaco), Jasmila Zbanic (regista bosniaco), Mirjana Karanovic (attrice serba) e altri ospiti importanti.
Ci piace pensare che il PRIFest sia un vero e proprio strumento di diplomazia culturale perché un nuovo paese come il Kosovo si presenti al mondo nella migliore luce possibile.
Ultimo ma non meno importante, abbiamo feste molto cool di musica elettronica con DJ internazionali e locali, grande musica, grandi bar per uscire, e soprattutto ottimo cibo e un sacco di alcolici con prezzi molto convenienti. Kosovo e Prishtina è divertente da visitare perché il 65% della nostra popolazione ha meno di 25 anni!
Possiamo garantire che le calde notti estive dovrebbero essere trascorse qui, e il mare (Albania) è a soli 3 ore di auto da qui:)
Lo slogan del festival è Amicizia. Per sempre.

The Georgia Shorts Film Festival is a theatrical screening event in Atlanta for independent films of all genres.

The Houston Comedy Film Festival is a unique forum for international independent filmmakers to showcase their Comedy Feature Length and Short Films in Houston, Texas. The 10th Houston Comedy Film Festival will take place April 13th, 2019 featuring films from multiple countries around the world.
Horror Films in Hotlanta, is a horror film festival in Atlanta, Georgia. This annual event showcases horror films from around the world. Atlanta has a great film scene in general, but also a dedicated horror film community that is eager to see new films. All flavors of horror are accepted including creatures, suspense, vampires, zombies, psycho killers, dark comedy, animation and other horrific situations that will make our audience jump. We've recruited 12 judges in the Atlanta area that are ready to watch every minute of every film submitted. We are also looking for horror film screenplays and hope to recognize exceptional work that can one day be produced into a short or feature film.
Your recognition should be SOLELY based on how good your work is, but to be honest, it's not. There's so much politics and agendas, and personal ties in this industry.
The people who get accepted into the big festivals are so rarely the little guy/girl, and it's basically a circle jerk of only those who have a big name or star attached getting in.
You hate that, and I hate that. That's why this this is built by filmmakers, in fact, we just completed our first feature which premiered at TIFF Lightbox last year.
We don't discriminate in genre, in length, in anything asides from "How good is your god damned film?"
You already have a lot debt and a lot of disappointments as an indie. Maybe you get accepted at a festival that shows your work some where in some guy's basement, but does that really matter in the end?
What about getting screened at the "BIG SCREEN", having your name on the Marquee?
When will making your short actually translate to MAKING IT in the business?
We're filmmakers too here at indiefilmTO which is why we've designed this from the ground up for filmmakers who are ready to take that next step.
indiefilmTO Festival was founded in 2015, and screened at TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) Bell Lightbox, since we know how important the VENUE is to filmmakers.
Be we don't stop there. We invite industry producers and Executive producers to come to the screening, to mingle, so you get a chance to get your film in front of the eyes of those who matter.
This year, we will again be screened at TIFF (350 King St. W, Toronto ON) in Nov / Dec 2017.
If you want your name on that marquee, and want to stop going more and more into debt, waking up and wondering when will this Groundhog Day circle of making-films-and-going-nowhere to end, then submit to indiefilmTO Festival.
*indiefilmTO is a non-profit based in Toronto founded by filmmakers, which seeks to help grow the indie film scene in Toronto.

En medio de la indiferencia y apatía de un mundo hipercomunicado, el Colectivo Fílmico G/A propone por segundo año consecutivo, la plataforma de proyección cinematográfica Cámara Lúcida, enfocada en la muestra y difusión de cine de autor, experimental, no ficción, periférico y contracultural.
El objetivo de este encuentro cinematográfico plantea crear un espacio de empatía, donde como autores y espectadores podamos escucharnos y saber del otro, de sus investigaciones y preocupaciones. Esperamos que la sala de cine florezca como lugar creador de complicidades de un andar, de una forma de ver o entender el mundo, un lugar en que la vinculación entre el autor y el espectador nos permita soñar juntos.
Fieles a nuestra decisión inicial decidimos fundar este espacio de proyección mostrando aquellas obras fílmicas que plasman la realidad que nos enmaraña; la confrontan y la ayudan a transformarse.
Cámara Lúcida decide apoyar a los autores que reconocen y proponen nuevas narrativas desde sí mismos y en medio de su cohabitar con la realidad, a las películas que reinterpretan y plastifican la realidad, el cine que resignifica al cine día a día.
Esperamos ser un espacio que supere las censuras y prejuicios en el quehacer cinematográfico y sus temas. Apoyamos a los autores que no le temen a los nuevos formatos y su movimiento, a sus temas y su tratamiento, cine en constante mutación e irresistible transformación, es decir, cine libre.
Sean todos y todas bienvenidos.
