COLIFFE - COLiseum International Film FEstival
THE FOURTH EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL WHICH CELEBRATES WORKS FROM ALL THE WORLD.

IT HAS A PROFOUND INTERNATIONAL SCOPE AND WAS BORN WITH THE OBJECTIVE AND NEED TO ENHANCE INDEPENDENT CINEMA AND FIRST WORKS.

The Pianeta Empatia Association which is organizing the IV Edition of the "Coliseum International Film Festival - COLIFFE", an event dedicated to promoting independent cinema and emerging directors, and to creating a moment of cultural and social aggregation, an experience of cooperation and integration between peoples.

COLISEUM, as a symbol of the Capital and of the territory to be enhanced by creating cultural specificities that act as an attraction;
INTERNATIONAL, like works from all over the world;
FILM, as a means of international communication, comparison as well as a container for criticism, development and promotion;
FESTIVAL, as a competition and showcase of titles and personalities.

The objective of the festival is to promote international competitiveness through attractiveness, a theme that concerns territories not only for what they are but also for how they can be developed and communicated. A territory is social value, exchange value and experience value, but also cultural value and economic value.

The Coliseum International Film Festival is a fundamental resource for the film industry as it not only contributes significantly to the cultural, economic and social development of the territory in which it is held, but also constitutes an essential link in the ecosystem of the film industry.

The Coliseum International Film Festival is multi-mission, in fact:
• promotes the knowledge and diffusion of international cinema in all its forms of art, entertainment and industry, in a spirit of freedom, equality and equal opportunities;
• offers directors wider recognition for their work, spreading word of mouth among critics, cinephiles and audiences;
• discovers new talent and helps structure emerging production areas;
• creates business opportunities for films that have not yet obtained agreements for commercial exploitation or for certain territories.

The fourth edition of the Festival is defined as "social", that is, with the aim of enhancing the aggregation of all the protagonists of independent cinema and first works and the social values of cinema.

The fourth edition, like the third, can be defined as a GREEN FESTIVAL from all the following points of view, from Sustainable Mobility (the locations are always identified near subway and/or train stops, means that are suggested to guests, together with electric ones and the car sharing solution) to Sustainable Energy Consumption (in in-person locations the aim is to reduce energy consumption, reducing lighting to the bare minimum by setting the heating system to the minimum level of well-being), from the Printing of Materials (the digital format is favored for communication, information and promotion of the event or paper materials printed on recycled paper by FSC/PEFC certified suppliers and the prizes are made with organic materials extracted from corn grain or with natural and degradable glass fibres) to the Installations (they are made only with biodegradable materials , without specific references to the edition, to be able to reuse them in the future).

From Waste Management (separate collection of the same numerous collection points and easily recognizable and visible containers) to Guest Management (only digital train and subway tickets and Travelife or Green Globe certified hotels are offered), from Food Sustainability (DOCG wines at 0 km, water and drinks on tap, no food waste, seasonal products at 0 km, washable crockery and certified tissue paper napkins) to Environmental Culture and Social Sustainability (sponsors who share and support the sustainability values of the festival and suppliers equipped with a certified Environmental Management System, chosen locations free of architectural barriers and accessible to people with disabilities and specific needs, promotion of gender equality and full participation of all individuals and valorisation of the territory) to end with Training and Communication (staff adequately trained on environmental sustainability and on the conduct policies adopted by the management and communication of the environmental and eco-sustainable policies adopted by the festival).

The festival invites all participants, in every form and role, to pay particular attention to adopting behaviors in this green direction.

HISTORY
Animation Nights New York was founded by Yvonne Grzenkowicz. On September 9, 2015, Little Water Radio invited us to use their old space at 207a Front St in the back of Fulton Stall Market for our premiere “NY Independents” screening. The program was curated by Yvonne Grzenkowicz (Animation Nights New York) and Robert Lyons (ASIFA East). We had about 45 attendees. We soon outgrew the space! (Thank you, Little Water Radio and Fulton Stall Market!)

Jan-April 2016 we were in residency with the Third Annual Out to See Festival at 192 Front St (Jan-Apr) in the South Street Seaport. We were the premiere event for this winter festival hosted by Little Water Radio and sponsored by the Howard Hughes Corporation. Animation Nights New York continued to grow.

In May 2016, Animation Nights New York relocated to the beautiful 180 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038 with support from Anderson Contemporary, MHP, Clarion Partners, and Maiden Lane Hospitality. We could finally accommodate our growing regular attendance!

Animation Nights New York now holds screening events around NYC. Besides 180 Maiden Lane, we’ve held screening events at the One World Trade Observatory, the Arts Brookfield Terrace at Brookfield Place, and The Gutter Spare Room in Williamsburg Brooklyn. We’ve held workshops and VR pop-up events at The Capitale and The Hideaway Seaport.

We’ve had over 11000 films submitted from all around the world. The work is beautiful and inspiring and the events have fostered a sense of community and exchange.

We’ve had tremendous support from ASIFA, NYC ACM SIGGRAPH, NYWIFT, Women in Animation, and the animation community at large. Animation Nights New York programs have included work by award winning animators such as Bill Plympton, George Griffin, Joanna Quinn, John Dilworth, Signe Baumane, Michael Sullivan, Dustin Grella, AthanassiosVakalis and Tiny Inventions among others.

Animation Nights New York had our First Annual ANNY Best of Fest on September 29-30, 2016. Our panel judges selected 20 films from the 200 screened Sept 2015-July 2016. The ANNY Best of Fest featured Animation Screenings, VR Animation Experiences, Art Installations, Industry Events, Artist Booths, and Professional Panels at 180 Maiden Lane and venues around the Seaport District of NYC.

Our goal is to strengthen the animation community and ensure filmmakers are rewarded for their efforts. We are looking to partner with companies who are naturally aligned with our mission to promote the arts. A huge thanks to everyone who helped us get this started.

Keep supporting independent animation. We hope to see you at our next event!

Siliguri International Short Film Festival

SIliguri, India


Film Making is an art and it needs more patience and determination to recreate your ideas to a motion picture. Films Festivals although are typically annual events, they acknowledge various genre of films, mostly from across the globe and encourage people engaged in cinema. They also provide an opportunity for unknown filmmakers to get their movies in front of a real live audience and to have their films reviewed by professional critics. Filmmakers whose movies get accepted into a festival also get valuable press attention and exposure to prospective agents and buyers, not to mention a sometimes sizeable cash award if they win.

From time immemorial, films have played a very important part in bringing people of varying backgrounds together and entertaining them. But, most of the times, the hard work behind making these fields go unnoticed and therefore film festivals started all over the world.

Venice Film Festival is the oldest one in the world, there are two other prestigious Film Festivals of Cannes and Berlin. Although the main crux came from international countries, India also has its very own set of Film Festivals in accordance to different states. Stating a few would be, Bangalore Film Festival 1996, Kolkata Film Festival 1995, Mumbai Film Festival 1990 and many more.

Siliguri is situated at the base of the Himalayan Mountains in the plains of Darjeeling District beside river Mahananda. It is the 2nd largest city in West Bengal and is also known as the Gateway to the North-East. The strategic location of the place makes sure that travelers to North-East India have to pass through this city.

Siliguri is not a very old city, but it ranks in the 19th number amongst 35 places to visit in West Bengal. Being a cosmopolitan city, it shelters a wide number of people with varying cultures and languages, along with a few tribal populations. Although the common language spoken in Siliguri is Bengali; Hindi, English, Nepali, Marwari, Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Assamese, Rajbangshi, Tibetian and many more varieties of linguistic people reside together.

Not only these, but the entire region of Siliguri is also famous for 3 T‘s namely: Tea, Timber, and Tourism. There are 45 tea gardens to spread over the blocks of the sub-division. Two important adjacent areas – Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, Baikunthapur contribute a lot to the microclimate of the region. It also has the best communication network along with the nearest railway station being NJP (New Jalpaiguri). Bagdogra Airport is the only airport in the distance of 12km which caters to the needs of Sikkim.

Talking about films, the quintessential Barfi, directed by Anurag Basu, starring Priyanka Chopra, Ranbir Kapoor, Ileana D’Cruz, Ashish Vidyarthi, Saurabh Shukla, Jishu Sengupta, Rupa Ganguly had been shot in Darjeeling, also known as The Queen of Hills which also falls under the North-East region. There are also plenty of regional films that are shot in or nearby this place, thus making it a hub for every type of genre!

International Auto Film Festa

Chuo-ku, Japan


Hello! We are International Auto film festa.

■ Held an automobile film festival that originated in Japan.

The International Auto Film Festa Committee will hold the "International Auto Film Festa," a car film festival from Japan, in 2024 and will start accepting submissions from 1 January 2024.

Automobiles are the primary industry in Japan, and it is a unique market with many global automobile manufacturers and brands. However, we ignored culture and art related to automobiles.
Therefore, it is necessary to increase the value of videos from the viewpoint of automobile-related culture and art.

Also, many of the existing film festivals are not well known to the general public, which is a hurdle for both participants and spectators.

We will make it possible for as many people as possible to participate in film festivals.

Using a film festival format, we will play a part in automobile culture and promote the exchange of global video creators with Japan as the starting point.


■ The mission of the International Auto Film Festa.
We are holding a new automobile film festival.

• Easy for anyone to join.
• Anyone can see trends in automobile videos.
• We are introducing video works and directors throughout the year.
• Posted in Japanese and English.
>>>
We will create a culture expressing automobiles' joy with videos.
Making film festivals more familiar.
Make it a gateway to success for creators.

In this film festival, anyone who loves automobiles can submit.
It all starts here.


■ Message from Media Partner
International Auto Film Festa will work with media partners to hold film festivals and disseminate information.

Mr. Tetsuya Kato
CAR GRAPHIC CO., LTD.
An automobile is an industrial product with many interesting stories behind it.
Of course, it also delivers many stories to those who ride.

I am very much looking forward to seeing a video that conveys the appeal of an automobile that is more than just a tool.

Mr. Shin-ichiro Ehara
Auto Bild Japan
The power of video is immeasurable. Japanese automobile film festivals have a significant influence in fostering automobile culture in our country.

I can't stop being excited!
We, Auto Bild Japan, will support the International Auto Film Festa.
- Auto Build Japan. The Japanese portal site of AUTO BILD, a magazine since 1986.


Mr. Satoshi Ubukata
8speed.net
Encountering the car of your dreams is often video work. Great video work is essential for a rich car life.
We hope that notable works will be born from this event.

- 8speed.net. is an automobile information site specializing in three German brands: Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche.

The International Street Film Festival is an annual celebration that showcases cinematographic works of exceptional quality that have been created independently and innovatively. This event seeks to promote and disseminate artistic expression through cinema, giving street filmmakers from around the world a platform to show their works to the public.
Our festival takes place in a variety of locations around the world, highlighting urban and outdoor spaces that allow audiences to enjoy a unique cinematic experience. We are pleased to present a wide selection of films that span diverse genres and themes, from experimental short films to documentaries, animated films and conventional narratives.

In addition to film screenings, the International Street Film Festival also offers a variety of activities and special events. These include workshops and lectures led by film industry experts, presentations of featured projects, talks with leading filmmakers, and post-screening Q&A sessions.
