Filmfest homochrom is the LGBT festival in Germany’s gay capital Cologne and in Dortmund (the biggest city in the metropolitan area Rhine-Ruhr).
Filmfest homochrom is one of the youngest LGBT film festival in Germany, but it is already one of the biggest, too. That’s why we are giving our best to establish an outstanding programme.
We are very honoured and proud that audiences have heartily embraced our first film festivals, and that we were able to show so many great premieres (about 70% of the films were German premieres in 2014).
Filmfest homochrom 2015
13-18/10/2015, Cologne
20-25/10/2015, Dortmund
L'objectif principal du Festival est d'ouvrir des dialogues autour des questions d'urgence à travers le cinéma comme plate-forme de médiation et d'engagement, dans la province de Colchagua, en assumant également le rôle d'exposant du cinéma national et latino-américain et d'œuvres indépendantes de différentes parties du monde.
Notre motivation pour cette version 2021 réside dans les transformations sociales axées sur les droits de l'homme et la conservation de l'écosystème, ainsi que la diffusion et la mise en valeur du patrimoine, afin de consolider le Festival International du Film de Colchagua comme espace intellectuel, politique et culturel turbulence.
An organization dedicated to the recognition and encouragement of sex-positive and kink-friendly depictions in film and television, CineKink is seeking films and videos that explore and celebrate the wide diversity of sexuality for our annual NYC-based festival.
Scheduled for its 12th annual appearance in February 2015, the specially-curated CineKink NYC will include a short film competition, audience choice awards, an adult industry showcase, presentations, parties and a gala kick-off, with a national screening tour to follow.
Cutting across orientations, topics covered at CineKink have included — but are by no means limited to — BDSM, leather and fetish, swinging, non-monogamy and polyamory, roleplay and gender bending, sex work and sex geekery. We’re looking to blur some boundaries and will be considering offerings of any length and genre drawn from both Hollywood and beyond, with works ranging from documentary to drama, camp comedy to artsy experimental, mildly spicy to quite explicit — and everything in between. Basically, as long as it involves consenting adults, just about anything celebrating sex as a right of self expression is fair game. (Far be it from us to define “kink” — if you think your work might make sense in this context, please send it along!)
Le cinéma est une forme artistique qui a besoin d’être nourrie et défiée en même temps et ÉCU - le Festival Européen de Film Indépendant – fournit l’arène parfaite pour les réalisateurs indé d’exprimer la narration cinématographique authentique dans les moyens les plus captivants.
Comme un des festivals de film indépendant vraiment remarquable du monde, ÉCU encourage l’innovation et la créativité et permit les réalisateurs en compétition de présenter leurs films aux spectateurs qui apprécient et adorent le cinéma indépendant. Les réalisateurs qui sont choisis pour la Sélection Officielle d’ÉCU joignent une communauté des créatifs qui repoussent les frontières de cinéma indé.
"C'est toujours une joie absolue de présenter son travail à l'ECU. L'équipe est fantastiquement serviable, le jury extrêmement compétent, et la sélection de la plus haute qualité. Je recommande la participation à tous ceux qui aiment le cinéma indépendant !" - Celina Liesegang, productrice de Viscera : Autopsy of a (non)human body, sélection officielle ÉCU 2022
"C'est toujours un plaisir de présenter nos films à ÉCU, notamment cette année avec notre court-métrage primé "Useless" ! La communication a été excellente tout au long du processus et nos cinéastes sont très heureux de faire partie de cette compétition. On se revoit l'année prochaine avec de nouveaux projets !" - Marta Salvador Tato, distributrice de USELESS, le lauréat du prix du meilleur court métrage dramatique indépendant européen 2022.
ÉCU ouvrait la voie au film indépendant depuis 2006 et l’étendue de sa présence a grandi à une échelle globale, et le festival est souvent considéré comme l’équivalent de Sundance, un honneur qu’on ne prend pas à la légère.
Le Printemps n’est qu’une période fabuleux pour Paris, mais une période formidable parce que c’est le moment où on présente environ un cent des meilleurs films indépendants du monde. Bien qu’ÉCU mette l’accent sur le talent européen, il reconnaît aussi le génie de réalisateurs internationaux au moyen de plusieurs catégories alloués aux films non européens.
Le festival prochain d’ÉCU, la 18eme édition, aura lieu le 19-21 Avril 2024, à Paris, en France.
ÉCU n’est que la projection d’une liste fantastique de films durant son événement de trois journées à Paris en Avril. Il y a aussi des ateliers professionnels menés par des spécialistes de l’industrie, des séances de questions-réponses avec les réalisateurs présents après chaque session de projection et de l’opportunité de se faire les relations avec des réalisateurs ensemble, des producteurs, des agents, de représentants de l’industrie, des acheteurs potentiels et bien sûr, les cinéphiles. À ÉCU, il y a une discussion continue de célébrer et critiquer le meilleur de cinéma indé d’aujourd’hui.
Quoi que l’évènement principal d’ÉCU soit le festival de trois journées chaque printemps à Paris, il y a plus ! Grace à plus de 50 nos organisations partenaires, nos centres de film, nos commissions filmiques, chaque année ÉCU va une tournée mondial qui s’appelle ÉCU-On-the-Road, qui donnent l’occasion des films primés (et beaucoup des films de la Sélection Officielle) d’être projeté à un public globale plus variés. En 2016 – 2023, ÉCU-On-the-Road a présenté les films dans plus de 80 pays autour du monde durant les petits festivals spéciaux d’ÉCU, des festivals partenaires, des instituts culturels et des écoles de film, incluant un festival spécial incroyable de sept journées à Sao Paulo, Brasil. L’événement était possible grâce au soutien de Caixa Cultural, São Paulo et était une réussite énorme. ÉCU a organisé des événements spéciaux à Berlin (Allemagne), Cannes (France) et a fait partie de festivals en Liban, Italie, Russie, États-Unis, Romanie, Autriche, Danemark et d’autres pays. Cela promeut les réalisateurs d’ÉCU aux audiences qu’ils n’aient jamais contactés.
Depuis son lancement en 2006, ÉCU a aidé littéralement les carrières des centaines de réalisateurs indépendants, acteurs, DPs, monteurs, scénaristes et il est honoré d’être fermement établi comme un des festivals éminents de films indé.
Surtout, on est fier d’être un festival de réalisateurs !
The first AfryKamera Film Festival was organized by FilmGramm Foundation in cooperation with the South African Embassy during the months of April-June 2006. It aimed to use cinematography to bring Africa to the attention of the Polish public. The 1st AfryKamera premiered in Warsaw and also ran in Krakow, Poznan, Lodz, Torun and Konin. The unbelievable media interest and good ticket sales during the first festival in 2006 confirmed our belief that Africa is a theme of immense interest to a growing number of people. Since the very 1st edition, AfryKamera has been well covered in the Polish media, which confirms the great marketing potential of such an event for Africa in general, as well as, for sponsors and patrons.
As it stands AfryKamera is the first African Film Festival in Central and Eastern Europe as well as the largest African-themed event in Poland and the wider region.
AfryKamera has managed to occupy a niche in the film festival market – although there are many international film festivals, they generally show a limited range of African films. AfryKamera is therefore the only festival in Poland dedicated purely to films from the continent. In the past few years the festival has decided to explore new avenues not only in the art of cinematography, but also in the presentation of African art, music, and culture.
The main events of the African Film Festival AfryKamera take place in Warsaw, Poland, traditionally in either Kino Luna or Kinoteka, the capital city's premier arthouse cinemas. The event in 2018 will last 10 days and presents 15-25 full length features and documentaries as well as some 20 short films from around the continent and from the African diapora. The key motto of the festival is "Made in Africa", as the focus is put on the quality of moviemaking on the continent and the enhanced capacity to make world-class movies.
Le festival Cryptshow est une initiative qui promeut le genre fantastique et la terreur. Chaque mois de juillet, Badalona regorge de zombies, d'extraterrestres, de vampires et de tueurs en série les plus infâmes. Et trop d'horreur... l'horreur !
Luxor African Film Festival is organized by Independent Shabab Foundation, which is a civil and nonprofit organization cooperates with the culture developed fund & other entities . The festival is organized under the auspices of significant Egyptian Ministries and other organizations.

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.
