Each quarter, the submitted projects are judged by an enthusiastic team of film industry professionals and academics.

TNFF Welcomes you to the city that never sleeps New York - United States.

New York is the most ethnically diverse, religiously varied, commercially driven, famously congested, and, in the eyes of many, the most attractive urban centre in the country. No other city has contributed more images to the collective consciousness of Americans: Wall Street means finance, Broadway is synonymous with theatre, Fifth Avenue is automatically paired with shopping, Madison Avenue means the advertising industry, Greenwich Village connotes bohemian lifestyles, Seventh Avenue signifies fashion, Tammany Hall defines machine politics, and Harlem evokes images of the Jazz Age, African American aspirations, and slums. if you're selected for the screenings in New York City on Feb 2025!

We are also extending an exclusive invitation to films from our sister festivals:

• Love & Hope International Film Festival - Barcelona (Oct 1 - 4, 2025)
• The North Film Festival - ONLINE - Stockholm - Sweden (April 24 - 25, 2025)
• Los Angeles Fantasia Fest - Los Angeles, CA (Nov 20 - 21, 2025)

We can’t wait to meet you at the festival! In the meantime, we’d love for you to join our Facebook community, where we share exciting updates about filmmaking and our festivals.

Biencortos | International Short Film Festival

Maracaibo, Venezuela


Biencortos was born in Maracaibo | Venezuela in 2022, as an annual showcase for regional and national productions. In its third year, in 2024, the organization led by the Proyecto Gaveta collective decides to experience ambitious growth, expanding its horizons and transforming itself into an event of greater scope.

This leap marks the beginning of a new stage for Biencortos, which seeks to consolidate itself as a platform of reference for independent cinema nationally and internationally. The festival aims to be a meeting place for filmmakers and productions worldwide, promoting the creation and dissemination of short films as a form of artistic and cultural expression.

The festival also offers parallel activities, such as workshops, talks, and special events, that promote the exchange of experiences and knowledge among film professionals and the general public. It is also conceived as a space for the community, where film lovers can enjoy a quality program and participate in various activities that can develop the region, boost the local film industry, and attract cultural tourism.

“Shorts = Cinema” sums up the essence of Biencortos—the short film as a form of artistic and cultural expression as valid as the feature film. The festival seeks to support the value of short films and position them as powerful tools for telling stories, reflecting realities, and generating opinions.

The Garden-in-Movies Film Festival, founded in 2017 as part of the Radicepura Garden Festival, a biennial event dedicated to Mediterranean landscape design, has reached its fourth edition and will take place on August 1-3, 2025, at the Radicepura Botanical Park in Giarre (Catania, Italy).

At the heart of the festival is the intersection between gardens and cinematic storytelling, explored from a broad perspective that embraces fundamental cultural, political, social, and artistic values. The themes go beyond nature and landscape to include ecology, sustainability, education, culture, human rights, social engagement, and environmental awareness.

The Garden-in-Movies/ShortFilmFest International Short Film Competition is open to all works that, through cinematic language, highlight nature, the environment, landscape, ecology, and sustainability as key drivers of growth and cultural exchange. However, the "garden" is also seen as a metaphor for any place, context, dynamic, or relationship that fosters and nurtures essential cultural, political, social, and artistic values. Therefore, films that interpret the concept of "garden" from this perspective are also eligible for selection.
