The Film Tuition International Festival

Islamabad, Pakistan


Welcome to The 2nd Film Tuition International Festival — a festival by filmmakers, for filmmakers.

After a successful debut season in Islamabad from March 9–10, 2024, where we screened 74 National and International films and hosted 4 hands-on workshops, TFTIF is proud to return for its second season. Our inaugural edition celebrated cinematic excellence with vibrant participation and honored outstanding work with awards and certificates across multiple categories.

Held in the heart of Pakistan’s capital, TFTIF is a celebration of global filmmaking, offering a platform for both emerging and established storytellers to showcase their creative visions. Our goal is to connect filmmakers with diverse audiences from across Pakistan and beyond, fostering a space where stories transcend borders.

At The Film Tuition, we believe in the power of film to educate, inspire, and spark dialogue. That’s why TFTIF isn’t just a festival — it’s an immersive experience featuring powerful screenings, industry-led workshops, and collaborative panel discussions. From passion projects to bold new voices, our festival reflects the rich tapestry of international cinema while embracing the cultural heritage and artistic spirit of Pakistan.

Join us as we continue this cinematic journey — to explore, engage, and celebrate the magic of film.

Emigration Film Festival | On the Wings of Return

Meduno, Italy


Organizing a festival dedicated to the theme of emigration in Meduno means giving voice to
a wealth of stories, emotions, and memories that still inhabit the area today.

Through short films and documentaries from different parts of the world, the festival aims to build a bridge between the past and the present, between those who left and those who returned or arrived, between the roots and new identities that intertwine in border areas.

It's the desire to rediscover the memory of Friulian emigration, made up of departures, sacrifices, and hopes, and at the same time to reflect on contemporary migrations, which continue to transform communities and the way we look at the world.

In a natural and human context of great intensity, the festival becomes a moment of encounter and sharing, where authors, spectators, and inhabitants dialogue through the images, words, and emotions of cinema.

It's also an opportunity to promote independent filmmakers, authors, and productions that are capable of sensitively and originally portraying the many nuances of leaving, returning, and belonging.

Finally, the festival aims to strengthen the link between culture and territory, inviting the public to discover the discreet beauty of the villages and to experience community, memory, and cultural rebirth.

MIAU FILM FEST

Buenos Aires, Argentina


The Miau Film Fest was created as a cinematic tribute to one of the most mysterious, free, and charming beings that share our lives: cats. This international short film festival invites filmmakers from around the world to celebrate, through cinema, the feline presence in all its forms: real, symbolic, poetic, or imagined.

Cats have accompanied art since time immemorial. They have been muses, guardians of silence, accomplices of solitude and inspiration. Their independence, infinite curiosity, and instinctive elegance make them authentic cinematic characters: observant, mysterious, unpredictable, and at the same time deeply human.

The Miau Film Fest aims to bring together diverse perspectives on these creatures that inhabit both our homes and our stories. It is also an invitation to recognize their ability to awaken tenderness, humor, reflection, and creativity in us.

More than a festival, Miau Film Fest is an act of love for cats and for cinema as a universal language. A space to celebrate the beauty of everyday life, the freedom of the smallest gestures, and the magic that happens when a cat appears on the scene.

Celaya Experimental Film Fest is a platform for the creation and exhibition of audiovisual works that focus on technical, conceptual, and narrative experimentation. The festival welcomes artists who have transgressed and transcended the boundaries of aesthetics, technique, and semiotics to break the dominant standards of the industry. We believe that experimental cinema is free, radical, and forward-thinking, while also responding to the anthropological, social, artistic, and philosophical need to explore horizons beyond the hegemonic forms of cinematic creation, discovering authentic ways of making audiovisual art.

Marín, Spain


The III SEA FILM FESTIVAL will be held from 20 to 26 April 2026 in the town of Marín.

The Cultural Association for a Sea Museum for Marín is the organizing entity of this festival. Since its creation, the Marin Sea Museum has had as one of its main objectives the recovery of the seafaring identity of the town of Marín, as well as the conservation and dissemination of the cultural heritage linked to the sea, maritime and seafaring culture, especially among the new generations. On the other hand, the Galician language is an indissoluble part of our culture. Language and the sea are two fundamental elements to understand and disseminate our identity. Therefore, the Sea Film Festival is fully within the objectives of the Marin Sea Museum.

The Cine do Mar Festival promotes the appreciation of the sea as an ecosystem and awareness of the importance of its protection and conservation, as well as the dignity of trades related to the sea and the recognition of people who have dedicated and dedicate their lives to work both at sea and on land directly or indirectly linked to the world of fishing and shellfishing.

The Cine do Mar Festival is an event that promotes creation in the Galician language and contributes to the promotion, dissemination and defense of the Galician language, encouraging the normalization of the use of Galician in cultural activities. Among its main objectives are to promote the use of the Galician language among the population, particularly among children and youth; as well as the promotion of artistic creation in the audiovisual field in the Galician language aimed at children and youth, age ranges where Galician has less use and prestige.

The Cultural Association for a Sea Museum for Marín is calling for the third edition of this festival.
