Immagina, Associazione Culturale, organizes the 22nd edition of the MonFilmFest.
The MISSION: the search for new stories and new talents in cinema through "a game" that defines and determines "a way of producing".
The CHARACTERIZATION: the MONFILMFEST has maintained its root "games of cinema without borders" in the Monferrato region. Without any obligation on regulations, we give guidelines consistent with our past, and WE START FROM THE IDEA OF TELLING from the Monferrato, THE PLANET, in its multiple physical, anthropic, political, and economic aspects with its evident environmental criticalities and its resistant beauties.
The CINEMA GAMES are the tool to fulfill our mission:
1. SEVEN DAYS FOR A FILM
It is a game that tests the ability to produce a film in Seven Days by designing the story and the production plan up to its first screening to the public.
2. SHOWCASE
Showcase presents a program of films to be screened during the festival week after A RESEARCH, A REDISCOVERY of ignored or forgotten films, produced after January 1, 2022.
The works have no constraints on genre, type, or duration. Showcase is beyond genres for a total vision of the international cinematic panorama. The FESTHOME platform will host the works and allow worldwide enjoyment of the films after the author's registration on the dedicated page of the MonFilmFest.
3. CHAT SI GIRA! is the new game of the MonFilmFest dedicated to the pre-production of a film written four-handed with Artificial Intelligence. The project involves screenwriters and AI developers working together to create an original screenplay.
The first step will be to write in Italian, using the suggestions offered by Artificial Intelligence, the synopsis, the subject, and the treatment or the screenplay of a short film, all in Seven Days.
All authors who can propose their work in Italian can participate.

Tomorrow Unlocked Film Festival (TUFF) is the first international film festival with an aim to tell engaging stories about how technology influences our lives now, and in the future , and engage with a broad audience of innovators, artists, technologists, thinkers, scientists, hackers and entrepreneurs.
We want you to make a short film, no longer than 15 minutes, with a strong storyline. We’re looking for quality above quantity, so keep in mind that it’s not about the length of the film. Films should be impactful and human, while keeping technology as the hero. Filmmakers will therefore need to transform complex technical information into easy to understand stories. Important topics for TUFF are the future of “Health”, “Work” and “Communities” and the role of technology within these three distinct areas.

History:
Established in 2006, the Tacoma Film Festival was created and developed by the passionate individuals behind Tacoma's only non-profit art-house movie theater, The Grand Cinema. The Grand (TFF's primary venue) is one of the Puget Sound region's strongest outlets for both international and local independent filmmakers, and works hand-in-hand with the festival to connect our city to the art of film.
Autonomous non-profit organization in the field of art development "Festival Plus" together with the administration of the municipality of Votkinsk in 2018 will organize and hold "Votkinsk international Film Festival". The festival takes place in the new modern cinema hall in the house of culture "on Kirovskaya". "Votkinsk international Film Festival" has become a traditional cultural event and will be held annually in autumn. The festival provides an excellent opportunity for filmmakers from all over the world to show their work and at the same time the audience to watch modern, high-quality, non-commercial movies. The organizers of the festival actively support students and graduates of film schools. All participants of the competition program of the festival will receive diplomas and laurels, and the winners of the award and laurels of the festival.
We are waiting for you on our holiday.

Today it is difficult to find a person who does not take pictures. Photography has become available to everyone, and this has radically changed the way that photographs are represented. And this, in turn, changes its meaning. The thousands of static shots that we see every day nowadays convey the dynamics of our lives better than any other medium.
Our festival is dedicated to the rare genre of the photomontage, which is based on this aspect of the perception of photography and the variety of editing options, and our program shows vivid examples of film art created without expensive equipment and millions of budgets. And, as always happens with real art, these works are not forgotten immediately after the last credits, but remain with us for a long time.

The international children's and youth festival CINEMEGAGUAY was born with the idea of bringing the film industry closer to the younger public, so that they learn to use the audiovisual language, due to its special relevance in society and education, while having fun.
Our objectives:
To promote cinema among the youngest audience, with the idea of being able to show short films and feature films made by and for children and young people.
It is a clear commitment to the cinema in the educational field, to promote the early and international level, passion and love for this artistic genre.
Main Program (International competition), which will regularly feature films from all over the world from among a director’s first and second feature films. The idea is to promote new filmmakers who are making a debut or are only just starting their careers.
This program’s goal is to identify and promote relatively unknown filmmakers’ new film stories, giving them a chance at the beginning of their film careers.
The idea for this film festival emanated from the dire need for a wider space to present debut films by many new filmmakers from the region and all over the world.
The International Film Festival KineNova Skopje, therefore, includes activities such as promotion, support, incentives, exchange of experiences, and film awards. It is a venue for new filmmakers to showcase new stories and offer a fresh perspective of humanity and the world we live in.
The festival and the city of Skopje have the honor to be the meeting point for new filmmakers and a springboard for their respective career paths.
