Film and Literature – a passion more than perfect
To paraphrase Freud, behind every great movie is a great argument, and behind a big argument, most often, is a great book. When Cinema was born in 1895, and had emerged as the Seventh Art, Literature (Sixth of Arts), already had long and rich history.
No wonder Cinema, characterized by it’s irreverence and ambitiousness, has turned to it’s older sister for inspiration, plots, stories and characters.
This almost umbilical connection runs through the history of cinema, as an almost perfect passion. But like all passions, there are moments of overwhelming intensity, sublime betrayals, mediocre or brilliant adaptations. Without the support of Literature, Cinema would perhaps be a hollow technique, an invention without a future. With inspiration in Literature, Cinema is a dream that is making millions of viewers worldwide dream, the great art of our time, a creative synthesis of all the arts.
Recognizing the importance of Literature in Cinema, rather than diminishing it, will only magnify it.

O objetivo do Festival é promover a produção e divulgação de audiovisuais como meio de expressão e comunicação.
Este espaço artístico/cultural gratuito nasceu em 2002. Desde o início, o festival estabeleceu relações com escolas, organizações sociais, de bairro, de direitos humanos e artísticas, centros de atividades juvenis e organizações de povos nativos, tentando ser permeável às necessidades e demandas do meio, tanto em termos de temas quanto de gêneros, resultando em um programa variado que vai do vídeo social à animação, incluindo ficção e audiovisuais experimentais.
Como espaço e local de reflexão e ponto de encontro de criadores, profissionais renomados ministram workshops e palestras, buscando fornecer informações e treinamentos, gratuitamente, aos interessados. Este ano, a exposição foca esse espaço em pensar sobre a situação audiovisual, trabalhar e pensar em redes e consolidar a produção audiovisual comunitária e popular.

We then represent, promote and will try to sell the best films from NOFI in the American Film Market, Cannes film market, Amazon, Netflix, Hulu and other markets. Winning films can also participate in NOFI sister’s film festivals in Korea, Poland, Germany, Estonia, Russia and Armenia. The winners from each category and diplomas of honor can have the opportunity to show their films (edited versions) at our NOFI film festival on YouTube channel. The best actors from the best films can join our “Accent” International Talent Management. Also the trailers of the awarded films will be in our web site for years, providing more exposure. Our festival helps expose new and emerging directors and actors. NOFI festivals give them an opportunity to present their names in motion pictures studios and be discovered in the film industry worldwide. NOFI is designed to showcase innovative work by new filmmakers who may (or may not) have been overlooked by other festivals. We organize forums and round tables with filmmakers during the NOFI festivals to understand their needs, help solve common problems with film production and discuss their future projects. Our slogan is- “Indie filmmakers without borders.” Many celebrities and representatives from film studios have attended screenings and award ceremonies of NOFI festivals.
