About Us
CINEMA is a reflection of the SOCIETY, human behavior and cultures, which are ever changing.
It’s been 122 years since the Lumière Brothers screened the first film in India and gave birth to Indian Cinema. We have come a long way since then, including The Golden Era of Indian Cinema (1940-1960).
The French New wave, which came along the 1950’s and the 1960’s, is regarded as one of the most influential movements in Cinema. Today, Cinema has evolved vastly with new camera techniques, lighting methods and above all, varied narratives that don’t necessarily adhere to the conventional story arc.
India is a country of great cultural diversity and, has a history of being one of the biggest contributors to the field of Art in the world. Moving to the present, we are situated in the heart of the Indian Film Industry, Mumbai, where the Star Culture is still prevalent in the Mainstream Cinema and most of the films thrive solely star power. Yet, there have been story tellers who have managed to break this mold and come out with amazing films in the recent past. The Parallel Cinema, a film movement that emerged as an alternative to the mainstream commercial Cinema, particularly in the latest era, characterized by its focus on REALISM, SOCIAL ISSUES and a rejection of typical Bollywood tropes like Song & Dance routines, is gradually taking a place in Indian Cinema. The key figures including Satyajit Ray, Mrinal Sen & Ritwik Ghatak, etc who were initially based in Bengal & later gained their influence across India. While the Parallel Cinema was a distinctly Indian Movement, it was also influenced by the International Film Movements like Italian NEOREALISM.
We, as the Global Indie Film Festival of India (GIFFI-Hyderabad), have a fundamental belief that Cinema is a beautiful platform and storytelling is diversely serene.
We are at the end of the second decade of the 21st century and we believe that it’s the time that new age experimental story tellers and artists are given their rightfully deserved audience.
Our aim through this festival is to reignite the love for cinema which has somewhere been blurred due to the commerce of the trade. After all, DADASAHEB PHALKE did not make the first Indian film, RAJA HARISHCHANDRA with the purpose of earning money. Passion is what drives us, and we are looking to meet and celebrate passion through the medium of cinema.
Welcoming talented independent film makers from India and across the Globe to showcase their narratives, short films, long short films, feature films, documentaries, animation films, web series and music videos etc of any genre, any length, any medium of shooting, to come forward and submit your films with appropriate entry fees.
If your work has merit and you have passion, we have a platform for you. This Global Indie Film Festival of India (GIFFI-HYD) is a platform to provide an open environment for the producers, directors, writers, actors, technicians, film appreciation enthusiasts and anyone who has a zest for Cinema. Let’s network and talk about cinema and also let’s vow to bring another new wave through our work.
We have a Panel of Experts as the Board of Juries. They will scrutinize your films in all aspects and decide the official selections & and as well as Final Awards as per the required Categories.
The Screenings of officially selected films will be organized in various Theatres physically/an OTT Platform, that is associated with GIFFI-Hyderabad online.
We conduct the Final Award Ceremony, where all the Award Winners will be facilitated with Trophy & Certificate. The First, Second & Third level Winners of the Best Film Category will also be honored with CASH REWARDS on the same Dias.
We conduct this unique Film Festival twice in a year in the different Cities of India with maximum gaiety & color.
GIFFI-Hyderabad is a PROGRAMME, organized by HONOR HEIGHTS AWARDS & REWARDS PRIVATE LIMITED, duly registered with Ministry of Corporate Affairs, Government of India. (CIN: U82300TS2024PTC184552)

FesticineKids 27 is an international children's and youth film festival in Cartagena de Indias, it is a film competition that orients its efforts towards strengthening the production and distribution of Colombian, Latin American and world cinema for children and young people.
In 2025, FesticineKids reaches its 27th, edition with the same spirit of highlighting and celebrating cinema for girls, boys and young people. The phrase has been chosen as the slogan: OUR KIDS VALUES. From this concept it is intended to invite children and young people to be aware of the responsibility they have to be agents of change in their environments. Children and young people are the future that should encourage the care of our planet earth, the human beings that surround them, animals and plants, as well as the places they visit. The tendency to Afro movies and ones oriented to indigenous people.
In the construction of the profile of the FesticineKids 27, the screen is problematized as a point of confluence of girls, boys and adolescents. By postulating cinema as that scenario in which feelings, emotions and beliefs are expressed, it is intended that girls, boys and adolescents, understanding what the cinema evokes them, what they extract from it and its meanings, wonder about the place that cinema has in their lives, in their environment, in parallel to the place they want and dream of.
It is also an opportunity for adults, parents, teachers, cultural and cinematographic authorities, to think about the need to strengthen their capacities to be trainers in tension and interaction with the audiovisual media, especially the cinema.
Dear friends and friends:
Once again we have the honor of inviting you to be part of our festival for which we look for films of any duration, theme or origin that, embracing the tools of real cinema, represent diverse points of view on the contemporary human experience.
In this version we are once again a face-to-face space, returning our hearts to the collective bodies of the desert. AricaDoc was born as a path to explore alternatives to the competition and commodification that industrial logics impose on the cinematographic arts.
Promoting a sensitive and political meeting based on the active search for new ways to feel our relationship with the world around us.
We are deeply grateful to each and everyone who has joined the communities of audiences of the festival from distant territories, thinking of them and them is that at least part of the program will be available on an online viewing platform, for access from Peru, Bolivia and Chile.
For this year the activities will be concentrated between October 3rd to 12th. Being this call open between June 26th and July 27th, through FESTHOME.
Thanking you in advance for your kind participation.
Kindly say goodbye

FID:RIO is the new International Documentary Film Festival based in Rio de Janeiro, inspired by the spirit that established FIDBA as the most important documentary festival in Ibero-America. FID:RIO envisions itself as a gathering space for non-fiction cinema, where films share a common vocation for reflection, formal exploration, and a critical gaze upon the world we live in.
Based on this premise, FID:RIO presents itself as an annual event that combines a selection of films by emerging directors with retrospectives of renowned filmmakers, as well as the recovery of essential works that remain outside the commercial circuit. The festival is an open platform for all documentary languages and for all forms that question reality and seek to understand it through cinema.
FID:RIO also aims to expand the cinematic experience toward other languages and formats, opening a dialogue between documentary and other disciplines: from photography to installations, from documentary theater to transmedia storytelling, and from traditional narration to new digital platforms. In this intersection between reality and fiction, documentary emerges as an irreplaceable form of contemporary thought.
In a world where markets tend to turn every connection into a spectacle, documentary cinema reaffirms its uniqueness: it works with uncertainty, instability, and unpredictability. And that fragility is precisely its strength. Documentary cinema invents forms, builds new maps, and explores territories that we do not yet fully know.
LINK:RIO is the industry section of FID:RIO, the direct successor of the work consolidated by LINK at FIDBA, one of the most important documentary gatherings in Latin America. Its aim is to strengthen documentary production through various instances of support, training, networking, and project development.
Its activities include:
Work in Progress – Presentation of projects at an advanced stage.
One-to-One Meetings – Individual meetings between filmmakers and decision-makers.
DocLab – A laboratory for projects in development.
Masterclasses and Conferences – Spaces for training and inspiration with national and international leaders.
It is a Festival with two sections to contest. Official Section and Section of Asturian Short Films. Three prizes will be awarded (best short official section, best performance and best short Asturian). All the information is in the bases. Any author of any nationality can participate.
ACTRUM is a non-profit Cultural Association that works in all areas of the artistic sector.

FICSEM Festival, in the Mediterranean area.
For major reasons, and having been immersed in a situation in which we have all been affected, we have decided to adapt to the current situation, and give a new focus to our festival. Maintaining the enthusiasm and passion we feel for the artistic world.
Our festival is aimed at the dissemination and promotion of film authors related to topics of social and/or ecological value.
Because we believe in the power of art as a transformative medium, our contribution from this festival is to give visibility to projects that address environmental and social changes in which we are immersed. We are an international festival because we understand the world beyond barriers, and because we are moved by the need to get to know other cultures and share the best of ours, as it contributes to any improvement in any corner of the world.
The Mediterranean is the climate that surrounds us, and we feel identified with it. In terms of warmth, closeness and transparency. We are a festival that is starting strong, with a large number of committed artists who share our cause, and the desire to share.
And that is why we are not afraid to break the most classic festival patterns. So much so, that in the award for best actor and/or actress, the recognition of the award falls on their social and/or ecological work... And not only on their skills.
Despite having firm ideological foundations. We open ourselves to other artistic areas and initiatives.
