Festival du court métrage de Bucarest [BSFF]
Indépendant est le mot clé du Bucarest Short Film Festival [BSFF], car il est fondé par des professionnels du cinéma indépendant et se concentre sur les artistes indépendants du cinéma, du monde entier. Le Bucarest Short Film Festival vise à reconnaître, présenter et diffuser les courts métrages internationaux les plus professionnels, les plus innovants et les plus intéressants, tout en donnant toujours la priorité aux courts métrages indépendants.
Le Festival du court métrage de Bucarest présentera certains des meilleurs courts métrages internationaux dans les domaines de la narration, de l'animation, de l'étudiant, de l'expérimental, du documentaire, du vidéoclip et Nous prenons à cœur la quantité de travail consacrée à chaque film. Par conséquent, le règlement du festival garantit que chaque film soit revu au moins deux fois et débattu par notre équipe. Certains des films récompensés seront également projetés dans d'autres festivals internationaux.
Les artistes indépendants et leurs courts métrages rencontreront un public effervescent et assez expérimenté avec le cinéma et les festivals de films, garantissant un réseautage de qualité et des opportunités attrayantes, tandis que les films sélectionnés seront déterminés par un panel d'experts de l'industrie.
Le Festival du court métrage de Bucarest construit une solide communauté d'intérêts autour des professionnels du cinéma indépendants internationaux et des cinéphiles, au cœur de l'une des capitales émergentes les plus intéressantes des arts et de la culture, une ville qui ne dort jamais : Bucarest.
Le festival organisera des projections de films, précédées ou suivies de questions-réponses d'artistes, ou d'événements parallèles de réseautage et, sûrement, de fêtes, qui se dérouleront toutes sur diverses scènes conventionnelles et non conventionnelles autour de Bucarest, comme dans les cinémas, les espaces ouverts et même les théâtres d'été. Bucarest, vous en avez entendu parler, finalement, une ville pour les jeunes. Bien connu pour différentes choses — comme le surnom du « Vieux Paris », à son époque bourgeoise, avant les décennies du communisme, ou le plus grand bâtiment parlementaire du monde [et l'un des plus grands bâtiments de toute sorte], de son époque communiste, de sa nouvelle architecture ou de la scène artistique contemporaine explosive, et d'impressionnantes communautés artistiques, musicales et nocturnes underground, à notre époque.
The Rwanda Film Festival, also known as Hillywood, has not only established itself as the country’s most important cultural event, but also as one of Africa’s most prestigious festivals. For seven days, film lovers, filmmakers, industry professionals and media will watch the best in new cinema from established masters and new local and international talents. The Hillywood tradition continues this year with the festival’s tenth edition.
Our principal objective is to promote and encourage awareness, appreciation and understanding of the art of cinema in Rwanda.
Our mandate is to present the most outstanding films produced in every part of the world.
With the ongoing development of filmmaking in Rwanda, we believe the time is right for such a festival that serves as a key platform for the promotion of Rwandan-produced cinema and also enables our local professionals to interact with internationally established filmmakers.
Among the most important Italian art film festivals, TOHORROR FILM FEST starts from cinema and then explores all possible means of communication, with the purpose of analysing contemporary society through the deforming lenses provided by the fantastic and horror culture. Thus, through the young authors’ videos and the films made by more expert directors, the meetings, the theatrical performances, the concerts, the art and comics exhibitions, we are enabled to to interpret reality, filtering it through a most wild imagination.
Fiaticorti est née en 2000 de l'idée de certains membres du « Projet Jeunesse » d'Istrana.
Le nom de l'événement a été choisi pour deux raisons : tout d'abord, « l'essoufflement » (fiato corto) est l'effet d'un effort physique de courte durée (la même durée que les courts métrages). De plus, un film qui peut durer jusqu'à 20 minutes est capable de transmettre des émotions fortes au spectateur, le laissant « à bout de souffle ».
Au départ, fiaticorti a été condensé en une seule soirée, à savoir une soirée de remise de prix. Cependant, à partir de la 4e édition, le format a été amélioré et le festival se développe en quatre étapes, au cours desquelles les meilleures œuvres sont présentées.
En 2006, la section FiativeNeti a été créée pour récompenser les réalisateurs de courts métrages de la région de Vénétie.
2011 a marqué un tournant pour Fiaticorti. Gianni Billio, directeur artistique de longue date, a non seulement passé le relais à Bartolo Ayroldi Sagarriga (le nouveau directeur artistique), Andrea Grespan et Simone Perotto, mais la qualité des films en compétition s'est considérablement améliorée, de même que le nombre de participants étrangers, principalement de France, de Grande-Bretagne, de Roumanie et d'Espagne. fiaticorti est devenu de plus en plus un événement international.
Mais l'identité du festival, liée à la culture des ciné-clubs italiens des années 70, est toujours restée la même. Son objectif est de transmettre la culture et la passion pour le court métrage. C'est pourquoi la direction artistique a choisi de ne pas accompagner le festival d'événements d'un autre type.
Hi Filmmakers! Our 2016 festival is in the history books again!
A comment from a filmmaker:
The Florida Movie Festival is a truly a wonderful experience. From the first contact with the organizers the filmmakers will feel they are with friends. The advantage of this festival is that there is direct contact with an audience through engaging group workshops, social gatherings and Q&A sessions. The location, Daytona Beach, makes it a refreshing environment to balance life with the intensities that many filmmakers deal with on a day by day basis. Respective, appreciative, encouraging, open, balanced, and supportive - The Florida Movie Festival.
THANK YOU!
Doug
Want to come to "World's Most Famous Beach" in Daytona Beach, Florida? Submit your movie and you have made the first step in enjoying time in Florida in early March. You will have the festival, workshops, networking, sun, more sun, fun, on the ocean and theme parks within an hours drive. Are you in the cold weather, come thaw out and enjoy a week here.
Our Florida Movie Fest featured "Long Pants(60+min), Loose Shorts(20-59), and Short Shorts(1-19)" with a "NEW" genre in "Outdoor/Adventure/Travel this year. It was a big success just like the Women Directed/Produced from the previous year. The Women Directed/P remains our largest and most competitive genre. Keep up the great work and looking forward to your new work this year.
This year we moved our screenings to the "World's Most Famous Beach" in Daytona Beach, Florida. Our workshops included: Creative Financing , Cinematography (2-Emmy award winning DP's), Copyright protection of intellectual property, Directing and Casting. These workshops were held in a room overlooking the ocean. Most of these terrific workshop hosts have indicated they would return and we are already engaged in conversation about a full day workshop - hands on with an Emmy award DP. Sounds great!
So next year make plans early and come to Daytona Beach, for the festival, sun, car races, bike week, or spring break. Maybe all the above.
Filmmakers came from as far away as Toronto and Calgary, Canada along with California.
Please make plans for the coming year.
Winners this year came from Sri Lanka, Iran, Germany, Austria, India, Australia, Argentina, UK, Chile, Ecuador , Brazil, Uruguay, France, Russia, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Taiwan , Egypt, Mexico, Canada, and US.
"Movies with passion and freedom" continues as our theme this year. Wow did you hit this on the mark. It is a real quality event when we have so much talent around the world finding its way to our festival.
FMF does encourage you to submit multiple work or a second category with same movie. Contact FMF to receive a twenty-five % discount for second movie and a fifty % discount for a third movie. If you find yourself in a quandary on which category to enter. You can enter a second category for a 50% discount to increase your chances for success.
FMF will continue our three main categories: "Short Shorts (1-19min), Loose Shorts (20-59min), and Long Pants (60+min)". A great 8 min. film is hard to be judged against a 35 min. short so we expanded to create a "Mini-Feature" category and to fairly protect the truly short film. This worked very well for us.
FMF will not change it's core principles in expanding, but FMF wants to provide an expansion of topics at this venue for our filmmakers and viewers to take a journey of - learning, relating, laughing, and many other emotions while keeping a thread of moral fabric!
One of our newer and very rewarding genre is Women. After attending a workshop on film for women, FMF heard their message. One of those messages: only 12% of women filmmakers are on the big screen. We want to help change that one independent film at a time. You are off to a great start, keep up the fabulous work.
Remember the book "Men are from Mars, and Women are from Venus". FMF wants to offer a genre that the story, script, director, producer or lead role is a Woman. FMF is looking beyond the industry term "chick flick" to films that are thought-provoking and personal growth about "Venus" or a view from "Venus". Present the world as a woman experience’s it – enlighten, empower, entertain, educate, inspire, curiosity and stimulate conversation.

The Mediterranean Film Festival in Široki Brijeg is characteristic for a unique atmosphere – a mixture of relaxed fun, tourism, rhythm and films. Hence the Festival quickly became the favourite of film workers and audience. Those who once feel the scent of the Mediterranean in this little town of film, shall always return to it. In front of the hall where the projections are going on there is always an interesting atmosphere, and after the projections there is always fun and dancing to the rhythms of urban music till late hours. The Festival is the initiator of the new relations within the world of culture, there is no elitism in it, no VIP boxes, no privileges. Within the last ten years we have succeeded to create an atmosphere in which no one feels alienated, inferior or less invited to be a part of the event.
MFF is the oldest festival of documentary film in the region considering that only documentary films compete here and the largest part of the program is based on documentaries. This is one of the rare festivals that has money prizes for the winners of the festival and in that way helps them to create new film projects. The School of Film Culture with relevant lecturers is being organized within the very MFF. A short documentary film is created every year at the MFF workshop, which we screen at the closure of the festival.
Besides the film projections there are also other programs offered at MFF. First of all the touristic ones, where a new branch, unknown untill now in Hercegovina, is developed – the cultural tourism. Within the tourism part there are the tours visiting the most interesting sites in Hercegovina which might be used as the locations for films shooting. Visits to the most significant touristic potentials of Hercegovina (Međugorje and Mostar) are also organized. We meet the guests of the festival to the exceptional archaeological localities and introduce them with the potentials of ethno tourism. In cooperation with the Tourist Board we get our guests acquainted with the Hercegovinian gastronomy – an extraordinary cuisine that has preserved the ancient taste and has not subdued to the modern culinary novelties, and belongs to a very healthy nutrition.
Mediterranean Film Festival lasts for six days, and all our guests, never mind from which part of the Mediterranean they might come, shall wish to come back again here.

Le festival de courts métrages « San Rafael in short » a pour objectif la diffusion, la divulgation et la projection d'œuvres cinématographiques ainsi que la connaissance de celles-ci par le public. Les œuvres présentées ne font pas l'objet d'un prix ou d'une récompense, mais uniquement de l'évaluation du public.
Since 2003 the international Festival SIGNES DE NUIT is active in Paris, Berlin, Saarbrücken and with special screenings world wide. The festival in Paris actually presents around 300 films coming from around 50 countries at different places in Paris. In Berlin the festival will be performed in the legendary cinema Babylon.
The International Festival SIGNES DE NUIT based in Paris is made up of films, which reflects new views, original imagery and critical approach to the crucial points of the modern human existence. It is a place for cinema that expands its own boundaries, that is astonishing, different, potentially free from the pressure of tradition, ready to give itself to the unpredictable experimentation.
The minor costs of digital production makes an independant- from comercial influences and any kind of censorship- production possible. These independant productions create an alternative, an artistic space very subtle and accessible to all, in contrast to what mass media offer.
This opposition and the preservation of the free cultural space is the goal of the International Festival Signes de Nuit, which has realized screenings and interventions in 29 different countries including Algeria, Australia, Chile, Cuba, Lebanon, Lithuania, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Peru, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey and the United States beside the screenings in main festival in Paris.

L'InFest Film Festival est un festival de courts métrages de deux jours qui se tient à Rubí, une ville d'asphalte, d'industrie et de fumée située dans les Valles Occidental, une région située près de Barcelone (Espagne).
Le festival InFest apparaît comme une proposition ferme et claire : que Rubí soit connu comme le Rubiwood du district de Vallés. Au cours des 9 dernières années, InFest a organisé la meilleure expérience de court métrage possible : projections en plein air, concerts, service de bar et toutes sortes d'activités liées au cinéma. Que pouvons-nous demander d'autre ?
L'InFest est consacré à la présentation de nouveaux courts métrages (produits après 2020) présentant des éléments de science-fiction, de fantastique, de freak et d'horreur. Les courts métrages ne peuvent pas dépasser 15 minutes (crédits exclus). Les films étrangers DOIVENT être doublés ou sous-titrés en espagnol ou en catalan, sinon le film ne sera pas accepté.
En 2025, InFest fêtera sa 10e édition annuelle. Après la pandémie de COVID-19, l'InFest a été transféré dans l'amphithéâtre du château de Rubí (« El Castell »), une construction défensive du XIIIe siècle, qui peut accueillir des événements publics réunissant plus de 2 000 personnes. L'amphithéâtre comprend des sièges, une scène et un bar ! Le prix du jury et le prix du public recevront respectivement 1000 et 250 euros.
