We have built a festival in total freedom, without any external conditioning. An international short film competition. A window on the cinema from a privileged glimpse: the city of San Benedetto del Tronto.
Presentation of Festival
The award-winning film "The right to happiness" was born from the meeting between the IMAGO Group and Civitella del Tronto. Film that highlights how Civitella del Tronto is not only a historic and fascinating village but a real stage under the stars.
The breathtaking views, the romantic streets, the wonderful Filippi Pepe square will be the living scenery of a project that must and, above all, wants to be characterized by art, culture, beauty and the desire to look into the distance.
Convinced of the suggestions and enrichments that cinema and the ancient village are capable of giving each other back, it was decided to give life to a cultural program that goes beyond national borders, to make this charming bond stronger.
The International Imago Film Festival of Civitella del Tronto wants to be all this and much more. It wants to consolidate the presence of the world of cinema in Civitella and present Civitella to the world of filmmakers.

We warmly welcome filmmakers and artists from all over the world to gather in Paris to meet new audience, screen and show their latest work, connect with fellow professionals, share their passion.

We accept short films and feature, in a wide range of categories including documentaries and animation.
Our goal is to help independent filmmakers screening their films, awarding them, show their films to high level industry talents and public figures. We close each year festival by an award ceremony, giving away trophies and certificates and gifts to films, and to filmmakers, cast and crew.

The Lama Film Festival has created in 1994 and offers every summer, at the end of july, a big party around the 7th art, with quality screenings, outdoors, under the stars, in a magnificent village of Corsica.
The festival champions great films but is particularly seeking work from those filmmakers who might not yet have had a prestigious public screening of their work.
Screening in the heart of London UKFF welcomes films of all types from all over the World - connecting up-and-coming filmmakers with more established names such as Judi Dench, Dustin Hoffman, James Corden, Bill Nighy, Timothy Spall, Steven Berkoff and most recently Willem Dafoe.
Category awards are given for Best Feature Film; Best Feature Documentary; Best Short Documentary; Best Animation; Best Music Video; Best British Short; Best International Short; Best Student Film; as well as special awards for excellence.
Mat Kirkby, Oscar Winner and Director at Ridley Scott Associates states that "The UK Film Festival is the most focused, passionate and quality driven film festival in the UK. Their invaluable support helped get me to the Oscars in 2015, where I won the Academy Award for best short film."
With a programme that showcases new talent alongside established directors, filmmakers and actors UKFF is a lively networking hub. Over the last 7 years UKFF has quickly become a career stepping stone, establishing a tradition of discovering and promoting films which have gone on to be Oscar and BAFTA nominees and winners. The script competitions have also made a big impact - five scripts have been optioned and three have been produced and gone on to win multiple awards and gained prestigious worldwide distribution deals.
Led by a jury of well respected professional filmmakers and as a member of Universal Films and Festivals Organisation we ensure a fair selection and judging process.
Our exciting screening events have created a networking hub that continues to connect new filmmakers to industry including television exposure by leading British broadcaster, Channel 4.
THE HUECC FESTIVAL is a film festival that seeks through itself a space for the construction of new community film schools. It was born from the Homonimo project carried out in 2018 TO MAKE A FILM SCHOOL, a space where different Latin American audiovisual groups came together to lay the foundations to create a film school in Solano/Quilmes.
Currently, this initial experience and through the festival could give shape to the ARROYO SCHOOL, which brings together 40 boys, girls and young people from the neighborhoods on one side of the Las Piedras stream.
Everything raised by this festival is intended to continue with the community film experience and the future construction of the first community film school in Argentina.
All genres, formats and durations are accepted. A selection will be made for the best organization and programming of the Festival. We will take into account formal experimentation and aesthetic risk
We freely accept all kinds of short and feature films without restriction on the production date.
For three thousand years, the Jewish people have been scattered around the world. That is why Jewish cinema is created in many different countries, alongside with special festivals that select and showcase those films. The Jewish Film Festival® in Moscow became the first of its kind in Russia. It was founded in 2015 and has been held annually ever since.
What is the Jewish cinema, after all? It encompasses far more than films made by Jewish directors or films which star famous Jewish actors. The never-ending search for Jewish identity, assimilation of diasporas and philosophy of self-determination and separation of the Jewish people in a society, return to the past, glorification of national heroes and mourning of victims, challenges of today’s world and the problem of relevance and preservation of traditions - these and many other issues attract filmmakers of all countries and continents. By searching and selecting the best Jewish films during the course of the past year we have attempted to shape an answer to the question of what these rapidly changing ethnic-themed films really are. Moscow, a large metropolitan area, a place where many cultures and nationalities live side-by-side, is one of the world’s most fitting locations for a festival that represents a dialogue of national communities.
The MJFF holds screenings of the most important and resonant Jewish films of the latest years. At the centre of the Festival is the Feature Films Competition Program, which is complemented by screenings of documentary films, short films and documentary shorts (as part of either competition programs or special screenings), as well as by discussions with experts on different topics raised in films and critics who specialize in Jewish cinema.
FestCine Itaúna – Busca promover a cultura cinematográfica através de exibições e oficinas gratuitas para o público com o intuito de incentivar jovens realizadores a explorarem novas formas de se comunicar com o mundo - promovendo um espaço de formação de público, difusão da produção regional e união de profissionais do setor.
A edição 2022 será hibrida entre presencial e online respeitando medidas sanitárias da OMS.
