The First International Film Festival of Madrid to promoting sensible cinema and intercultural dialogue.
LE FESTIVAL : MOUVEMENT CULTUREL
Le Festival est né avec une mission bien précise : il vise à attirer l'attention du public vers un espace représentatif ouvert et large, tel que l'environnement rural, en faisant de ses projections extérieures, ouvertes à tous, le meilleur représentant. Les jeunes et les adultes, les générations séparées par les années et les expériences, se réunissent autour d'un écran qui met en lumière un passé et un futur : la culture est intemporelle, la culture unit, et le langage cinématographique sera le lien commun pour tempérer les émotions et les sentiments, pour conserver les souvenirs, pour provoquer des rassemblements animés.
Ainsi, tous les participants à l'événement peuvent profiter d'un discours hétérogène et dynamique. Grâce à cette impulsion culturelle, les différents courants de créativité permettent aux spectateurs de se déplacer et d'explorer des codes nouveaux et anciens dans un espace public, créant ainsi une communauté.
Nous sommes un festival qui promeut résolument le cinéma social indépendant, ce cinéma qui raconte des histoires de personnes, de lieux, de conditions et de situations communes à la majeure partie de l'humanité. En d'autres termes, des histoires de chair et de sang, sensibles et vraies.
D'autre part, nous sommes convaincus que le cinéma est l'outil le plus important de transformation sociale et culturelle du monde ; et que les festivals sont des médias alternatifs et des fenêtres d'exposition, dont la fonction spécifique est l'interaction dynamique avec le public cible, afin d'atteindre des niveaux de conscience profonde pour ces spectateurs.
Par conséquent, nous voulons nous présenter à vous, cinéastes, de manière formelle et honnête, en prétendant être considéré comme un pont entre ceux qui voient, interprètent et façonnent la réalité d'une manière différente et les habitants de notre région ; une région située en Colombie, qui a besoin de toute urgence d'entendre des messages de l'espoir culturel par l'art, afin de parvenir à la paix intérieure et à des changements radicaux dans leur vie.
Le ficmonterrey est constamment à la recherche de récits humains qui s'appuient sur des points de vue issus d'un monde en mouvement et en transformation constants, en interconnexion et en innovation pour sa sélection.
Le Festival recherche des films ayant le pouvoir de s'inscrire dans la mémoire collective du public, d'émouvoir et de créer un dialogue avec lui.
L'un des principaux intérêts de l'équipe organisatrice du ficmonterrey est d'encourager de nouvelles perspectives, à ceux qui sont jeunes, non pas en raison de leur âge, mais parce qu'ils sont nouveaux, pour rester critiques, pour réussir en innovant et pour s'exposer à divers risques.
L'objectif général de ficmonterrey est de réunir à Nuevo León un public en personne et un public virtuel dans tout le Mexique, devant une sélection de films mexicains et internationaux contemporains créés par des cinéastes aux visions diverses, fraîches, risquées, critiques et innovantes. De même, nous souhaitons fournir un espace de formation qui favorise la rencontre entre les cinéastes, les films et le public ; et des activités qui favorisent la production cinématographique, en particulier les productions féminines et régionales.
Le premier et le plus important Festival de Freak en Espagne. Nous acceptons également l'horreur et le film fantastique. Avec un public de 1.800 personnes tous les jours du lundi au vendredi et nous serions ravis de projeter vos courts métrages.
Our event is devoted to exploration of different artistic ways for remarkable expression of the author’s view, not dictated by any of political or trend frames, but delivered with high quality and in a respective manner.
We promote cinematic art as the greatest means for dialog between nations and try to deepen community’s understanding of Russian mentality. We encourage directors and producers to rise the issues of all kinds of global or local problems, because we strongly believe in cinematic power in solving them and awakening people’s mind.
We introduce the new world’s independent filmmakers to Russian spectators, show best Russian and world’s new films to distributors and broaden the exchange of experience between Russian, European, Asian and American cinema art schools.

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.
En 2025, le festival aura lieu à Rio de Janeiro et à Niterói, et les inscriptions sont ouvertes pour les courts et longs métrages sur les questions environnementales, les droits de l'homme et le développement durable.
Le festival présente chaque année les meilleurs films et vidéos récents sur les questions environnementales, afin de sensibiliser, de susciter le débat et d'élargir les connaissances et la conscience sur la nécessité de changements urgents dans le comportement des personnes, des gouvernements et des entreprises, afin de préserver la planète.
Toutes les projections sont gratuites et certains films peuvent être projetés en ligne, avec toutes les garanties accordées et géobloqués au Brésil, si nécessaire.
BuSho (Budapest Short) was established in the autumn of 2004 by a group of young Hungarian filmmakers and the first event successfully ran its course the following year. The festival became an international breakthrough in an exceptionally short period of time. We had plenty of festival screenings, selections of film academies, conferences, exhibitions, film-, and all-art workshops in the program. Our main target group is the generation of developing young filmmakers but we are very delighted at every entry. This film celebration takes place in Budapest in the late summer of 2019.
Le FEU ! Mostra est le premier festival de films LGBT en Espagne : créé en 1995 par Casal Lambda, à Barcelone, il aborde la diversité affective dans son sens le plus large à travers une sélection rigoureuse de longs métrages, de documentaires et de courts métrages. Une sélection de films d'art et d'essai et une approche pédagogique en sont les principales caractéristiques.
Pendant deux semaines au début du mois de juin, principalement à l'Institut français mais également dans d'autres lieux intérieurs ou en plein air de la ville, un large public est invité à découvrir ce monument culturel de Barcelone, avec des histoires et des témoignages de personnes libres, de créateurs qui brisent les barrières et de défenseurs des droits humains, qui contribuent tous avec amour à construire un monde plus juste et plus libre.
Le nom du festival est un hommage au magazine new-yorkais du même nom de la fin des années 20, FIRE ! , dirigé par l'écrivain gay noir Richard Bruce Nugent, incarné dans l'un des films les plus emblématiques du festival, Brother to Brother, que nous avons projeté il y a quelques années.
