Au cours des dernières décennies, et à une époque marquée par l'émergence de nouvelles technologies qui ont fini par scanner la plupart des processus du film, le documentaire a connu un essor notoire et systématique dans le monde entier. Dans notre pays, et depuis plus d'une décennie, une production auparavant liée presque exclusivement à la fiction vient grossir les rangs avec de nouveaux sujets, de nouvelles approches, de nouvelles géographies, de nouveaux dilemmes.
C'est dans ce contexte que la FIDBA est proposée comme 1ère. Festival international du film dédié à ce genre qui permet aux films ayant les mêmes fans de rencontrer et de dialoguer entre eux et avec le public, tant que nous pensons que les formes et le fonctionnement du film documentaire sont différents de ceux de la fiction. Si le documentaire est un point de rencontre pour la FIDBA, c'est dans la mesure où il propose une interpellation aux mémoires méconnues, au présent inquiétant et à (notre) futur en suspens. La FIDBA sera alors une approche non seulement destinée au public, aux cinéastes et aux penseurs liés au documentaire, mais aussi aux possibilités toujours stimulantes qui permettent d'ouvrir cet espace à d'autres expressions frontalières et hétérodoxes encadrées dans ce que nous appellerions la « non-fiction » et qui nous encouragent à dialoguer avec des expressions contemporaines qui dépassent même le cadre du film.
La FIDBA accordera une attention particulière aux cinéastes pour qui le cinéma est lié à une forme de recherche et de connaissance du monde qui nous entoure, ainsi qu'au portrait d'êtres humains dont les conditions de vie, dans certains contextes historiques et sociaux, vous permettent de nous interroger sur les nôtres. Ce sont donc les auteurs qui reflètent non seulement la réalité, mais également la relation éthique et morale qui implique de filmer l'autre.
La FIDBA a pour objectif de devenir un point de soutien pour les cinéastes qui cherchent à élargir leur perception de la réalité et pour les films qui constituent un pas en avant dans leurs efforts pour la comprendre et l'anticiper. Il mettra donc l'accent sur des films dont l'originalité esthétique met en péril non seulement une idée du documentaire, mais également une réflexion sur le même film et ses possibilités. Puisque cette focalisation implique de questionner le statut de la face avant réelle de la caméra ou du film par rapport à la réalité, cela est tout aussi indissociable des médiations qui en découlent.
KRAFTA DOC International, Art Making Film Festival is the first international documentary film festival about making art. We love makers. Contemporary art, design, craft, food or industry, KRAFTA DOC loves people who change the world with their own hands and their own ideas. Behind the materials there is history and memory, a lively network of partnerships and professions, a commitment, very often lived as a vocation.
In a world of great change and fast information, we wanted to stop to listen to the voices of those who work in the world of art, design and architecture. We are fascinated to know where things come from, and documenting the traditions, we will open infinite possible worlds. Reinvigorating the past can create a debate to develop new sectors for the future or rediscover the forgotten ones, in a more conscious way.
KRAFTA DOC considers any type of filmmaker, independent, established, groups or collectives, commercial or educational institutions.

« Il est évident que l'art ne peut rien apprendre à personne, car en quatre mille ans, l'humanité n'a rien appris du tout. »

Terror Film Festival is a blood-chilling, alien-probing, international film festival that is unlike any other film festival, because we are designed specifically for filmmakers and screenwriters. TFF runs every October and being an online film festival allows us to remove all of your shackles from traditional venues. Problems like...capacity limits, late starts, rude staff, bad audio, lobby noise, projection snags, parking fees, ticket mishaps, etc...who needs them?! They are all designed to ruin YOUR screening. Well, no more!!
We have removed these problems, and with them now gone, TFF can offer you MORE people to see YOUR film (imagine 25 people vs 25 Million people). TFF increases the potential for you to gain more loyal fans. Plus, we offer the one and only, Claw Awards, for film and screenplay. And, our world-class screenwriting competition is a great feather in the cap for any screenwriter. We do our best to let you know that it is all about YOU. And, yes, we do accept Music Videos in any of the genres.
“TFF believes that it is through a legion of fans that a filmmaker or screenwriter can build a solid career in entertainment.”
~ Fel Angel, Filmmaker/Screenwriter/Festival Director/Terror Film Festival
Terror Film Festival was founded by filmmakers and screenwriters, and we know how difficult the road to success can be. That’s why we screen short films during the festival, but not the feature films. We only screen the feature film "trailers". The reason being that the integrity of your feature film must be kept intact if you expect to get a distribution deal. This way, your project can still be reviewed, you can still compete in the Claw Awards competition, and you can still have the opportunity to sell your film to fans during the festival. But, you do not suffer any interference with any distribution deal offers! Plus, All films and screenplays are reviewed by our selections committee, and all selected films and screenplays then become nominated for the coveted Claw Awards. Who knows, perhaps YOU will win the next Claw Award!
Terror Film Festival considers both short and feature length films and scripts (completed and Works-In-Progress), and we offer exposure, prestige, recognition, amazing exposure, and the Claw Awards. And we are completely driven by love of the craft. That's why TFF is committed to the filmmakers and screenwriters who bring great genre movies to the world. TFF is Halloween Cinematic!
Terror Film Festival is run like no other festival, because it is designed to help promote YOUR PROJECT, and more importantly, YOU. Our innovations are all designed to further YOUR career. Such as: Princess Horror, the first-ever film festival icon who is loved and followed by a legion of fans; The Claw Awards, the first-ever full-blown genre dedicated awards (heralded as "The Oscars of Indie Filmmaking"); Free Submitted Film Listings, the first and only listing of submitted films on a festival website in our massive stand alone section as an additional promotional vehicle for our creative artists as a thank you JUST FOR SUBMITTING A PROJECT.
Terror Film Festival also pioneered placing video interviews of our creative artists on our website. These are all unique marketing ideas that no other film festival in the world had ever explored before TFF. And we do it all because it brings more attention to YOU. TFF pioneered all of these concepts in 2006 to better serve our filmmakers and screenwriters, and we are proud to continue to offer them to our creative artists.
Thank You and Good Luck from Terror Film Festival.
